Scottish Government launch the new round of the People and Communities Fund

The main grant element of the People and Communities Fund is now open for new applications for the financial year 2015/2016.

The deadline for receipt of applications is Friday 31 October 2014. 

The Scottish Government has increased the overarching People and Communities Fund budget by £1.5 million in 2015/2016 to £9.4 million to support local people and local communities, allowing even more community regeneration to take place.

There will be at least £7 million available for the main grant element of the Fund, which forms a key part of our Regeneration Strategy, and will support Registered Social Landlords and other community anchor organisations, such as community development trusts, reinforcing our support for community-led regeneration.  This will make a real difference to people living in our most significant areas of disadvantage, and include support to help mitigate welfare reform.
