Community Grants Information
The City Centre Neighbourhood Partnership awards community
grants to eligible parties and we are keen that the funding is used
to make a real difference to people's quality of life.
This year, 2010/11, the Partnership has an allocation of
£29,864 to award to suitable projects.
Applications of up to £5,000 are welcomed from constituted
community groups with open membership and are available on a first
come first served basis.
Since the City Centre Partnership was formed in 2007 a number of
groups have benefited from the 
Community Grants Fund it distributes. Examples
of groups and projects that have received funding are as
follows:
- £3750 to the New Town and Broughton Community Council for
website development
- £5000 to the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop for the development
of a public garden in the Grassmarket
- £4976 to the Canongate Youth Project for a holiday activity
programme
- £2,563 to the Indian Music and Dance Collective to help promote
Indian music and cuture
- £5000 to the St. Mary's Cathedral Workshops for masterplanning
commissioning
- £4074 to the Croft-An-Righ Social Club for a
programme of social and cultural activities for sheltered housing
residents
