The Good News - News: "Grant for youth volunteering
23 February 2006

ALOVE, the youth initiative of The Salvation Army in the UK and Ireland, has been awarded funding of around £24,000 by the Government's Russell Commission to research and develop youth volunteering.

The Russell Commission, which was set up by the Government in 2004 to explore youth volunteering, has awarded funding to 45 organisations to help achieve the commission's target of engaging one million new young people in volunteering within the next five years.

The Salvation Army and the Church of England are the only faith groups to have been awarded funding and have been asked to carry out research within their organisations."
