Small grant support for implementing the CLD Strategic Guidance

March 11, 2013 J. Fenby Leave a comment

Education Scotland is keen to support work which will contribute to the delivery of the key outcomes identified in the CLD Strategic Guidance and has set aside a small grant support stream for activities during financial year 2013/14.

Further information about the funding and details on how to submit a proposal can be found on the Education Scotland website.

Proposals must be submitted by Friday 19 April 2013, all proposals will be considered by an evaluation panel that will meet in April.

Funding will be very limited and is not intended to replace other funding streams for CLD. A further evaluation panel may be held in September 2013 subject to funds being available. Further information about the dates for this panel will be provided in July 2013. We will not be able to consider applications for funding at any other times during 2013/14.

ACE stands for Achieving Community Empowerment and is funded by the Big Lottery Fund in Scotland (BIG). It is a programme of support for community groups and within it the Scottish Community Development Centre (SCDC) will provide at least 10 days of support for at least 10 groups a year.

Community Toolkit

Skye and Lochalsh Council for Voluntary Organisations have developed an online reference tool for community groups of all sizes – from small clubs to larger social enterprises. Containing information on a wide range of topics, the Community Toolkit guides you through consultations with your local community, setting up a group or project, managing and developing your activities and looking after the people that use your services. The Community Toolkit also includes a section on Generating Income and a funder’s database to help you find suitable funding sources. Find your local Community Toolkit at http://community-toolkit.org.uk/local-toolkit.htm.
