Want to make a lasting, positive change in the world? Have an idea for a community project in your local area?
vInspired is delighted to be working with Disney and Youth Service America (YSA) to offer you the opportunity to receive a £750 grant to develop and run your project.
We are looking for projects that highlight your creativity and commitment to make a positive social change and meet the needs of other people. We want you to show that small actions can add up to a big change.
Whether you are passionate about protecting the planet, providing meals to those who need them, or giving kids just like you the resources to star in their own play, be an athlete or an artist, you can be a Friend for Change! Whatever your interests, a Disney Friends for Change Grant can help you make a difference for people, communities and the planet.
Young people aged 5-18 located in England are invited to apply for the £750 grants. The Disney Friends for Change Grants programme encourages all applicants to identify a responsible adult (e.g. parent, teacher, youth worker) to support the application and to give all Friends for Change projects the best chance of success.

This year, as part of Global Youth Service Day (20-22 April) we want to know all about your ideas to make the world a better place.
Global Youth Service Day is a time for young people across the world to do awesome things in their local communities, and make a positive change all over the globe.
It’s actually a whole weekend, so you’ve got plenty of time to think of ways to make something happen, and to put it into action at the same time as other young people in every time zone on the planet!

What’s more, through our vInspired Cashpoint funding programme, you actually have the opportunity to bring these ideas for social action projects to life! Anyone between the ages of 14-25 who has an idea to solve an issue in their community – we want to help you solve it.
How? We are offering grants of up to £500 to get your project of the ground. That’s right, you come up with the ideas – we’ll give you the support to make them happen.
So what are you waiting for? Make your idea a reality on Global Youth Service Day 2012 and apply for your vInspired Cashpoint grant!
