Community Grants Fund Info

 


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 Neighbourhood Plan 2008 - 11. These are:

 

 

1 Promoting safer communities for all residents.

 

 

2 Make our environment cleaner and more attractive while promoting sustainable

lifestyles and development.

 

 

3 Develop a better range of activities and resources for young people in the area.

4 Improving public transport networks.

5 Promoting healthy living and lifestyles.

 

 

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.
