Here's an update on an assortment of opportunities for community groups....
The Scottish Community Foundation has a small grants programme for constituted groups undertaking social welfare and community development activities. The grants are aimed at relatively small organisations who have an income of less than £250,000 a year and the grant needs to make up at least 25% of the cost of the project. Grants of up to £5,000 are available which must be spent within 12 months. For further information, see their website.
Forward Scotland will be starting to work with community groups through their 'Sus It Out Plus' scheme in the autumn, funded by the Big Lottery Fund. They're hoping to work with a wide range of community groups to increase awareness of sustainable development principles and develop actions plans, skills and experience. Only limited details are available at present, but you can register your community's interest on their website.
British Gas are looking for community energy projects to compete for a share in their Green Streets £2 million funding pot. Projects should bring energy savings across a whole community, whether that's through increased efficiency, the use of local renewable energy sources or a combination of actions. Project ideas should be submitted by August 31st and you can find further details on their website.
