The National Lottery Community Fund Scotland has launched two new funding programmes – Community Action and Fairer Life Chances – which are now open to applications.
Community Action will support community activities that bring communities together to improve wellbeing and develop positive relationships within those communities. Projects should help people connect with each other and/or the environment. The definition of community is being broadened for this fund to include people who share an identity, interest or experience, as well as people living in the same place. You can apply for funding between £20,001 and £250,000 for up to five years.
Fairer Life Chances is for projects providing services that support children, young people and families, or that help people to be healthier or have better access to support. You can apply for funding between £20,001 to £500,000 for up to five years.
Both funds are ongoing, meaning you can submit your application at any time. Find out more about all the funding available in Scotland and how to apply on the National Lottery Community Fund Scotland website.
