Community Grants Fund Information

Community Grants Fund - Information

The Community Grants Fund is designed to support pieces of work or projects which fall outside mainstream service delivery, but which clearly benefit local people in the Western Edinburgh area.  A Grant of up to £5,000 is available to constituted community groups with an open membership.

The Neighbourhood Partnership assesses applications on the basis of the priorities set out in the Local Community Plan 20011 - 14.  These are: 

1    Providing more activities for young people. 

2   Improve service delivery and engagement with older people and vulnerable adults.

3   Making our environment cleaner and more attractive and supporting and valuing our local heritage. 

4   Improve public transport networks and roads.

5   Promote healthy living and better health.

The Partnership is keen to make sure that local people and organisations know about these grants and how to apply, so that we can make the best use of this resource for the local area.
