COVID-19 Winter Support Fund

The local Falkirk COVID-19 Winter Support Fund has been established to enable food provision groups to continue to support families and individuals over the winter months. This is part of the Scottish Government’s COVID-19 investment package, distributed to Falkirk Council to provide financial support for local communities who continue to provide support for food insecurity throughout the pandemic.

The monies are available for new or extended food providers in the community that is being delivered solely in response to the COVID-19 pandemic which supports all members of the community experiencing financial hardship as a result of the pandemic.

This is a local COVID-19 Winter Support Fund intended to allow your organisation to access funding for food and other essential items normally provided by food providers. This fund offers you support for these costs to carry out food provision activities over a period of 8 weeks.
