Disney Friends for Change vInspired

vInspired is delighted to announce an exciting new partnership with Disney and Youth Service America (YSA) to introduce the Disney Friends for Change Grants programme to children and young people in the UK

The Disney Friends for Change Grants offer children and young people aged 5 – 18yrs the opportunity to apply for a grant of up to £750 to help make a lasting, positive change in the world. The scheme aims to inspire children and young people to unleash their creativity, developing innovative ideas to tackle local issues and taking collective actions that will make a difference for people, communities and the planet.

From setting up a community allotment to meals on wheels, coaching a sports team to setting up a local theatre group, everyone can be a Friend for Change! Whatever their passions or interests, a Disney Friends for Change Grant can help children and young people to make a real and lasting difference in communities across the UK.

Who’s eligible?

Children and young people between the ages of 5 – 18 are eligible to apply for grants of up to £750. The Disney Friends for Change grants programme encourages all applicants to identify a responsible adult (e.g. parent, teacher, youth worker) to help with completing the application form and to give all Friends for Change projects the best chance of success.

The simple online application form invites children and young people to set out the community issue they want to tackle, and provide further details about what action they will take and how they’ll inspire others to help. This exciting partnership between vInspired, Disney and YSA will help to showcase the very best of youth social action across the UK, enabling children and young people to inspire others to join them in taking practical action for positive social change.

The deadline for applications is midnight on Thursday 21st June 2012. Together with our other Disney Friends for Change UK partners, Youth Scotland and Volunteer Now, we can show how even small actions can add up to big change.
