Ahead of Falkirk Funders Fayre 2023 – taking place in less than 2 months! – we are announcing the funders who will be joining us on the day. Book your FREE place for Tuesday 7th March at the Bowhouse Community Centre, 130 Bowhouse Road, Grangemouth, FK3 0EU, from 10am, where you can discuss your funding needs, applications and project plans in-person with a range of funders.

Due to popular demand, we are delighted to announce we have added another date to our “An Informed Choice: Community Asset Transfer” online sessions, on Monday 20th February, 12:30pm – 1:30pm. Taking place via Zoom, the session is open to third sector organisations and groups across Falkirk and District, as part of our support to the local third sector and communities around the recently announced Strategic Property Review.

Following Falkirk Council’s announcement that Councillors had agreed in principle to make 133 council-owned properties available for transfer to communities, they have now opened public consultation with an online survey. The council is also holding a number of consultation events in local communities, with the first taking place next Tuesday 10th January, 12pm – 2pm, at Slamannan Library, High Street, Slamannan, FK1 3EX. For anyone unable to attend their local event, there is also an online event taking place Wednesday 25th January, 7pm – 9pm.

Due to the ongoing cost of living crisis and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including rising numbers of positive cases in Forth Valley, we have launched this year’s Wellness in Winter campaign.

After two successful virtual events, we’re delighted to announce that our popular and FREE Falkirk Funders Fayre returns for its first in-person event since 2020! Taking place on Tuesday 7th March 2023, the event is designed to give third sector, charity and voluntary organisations and social enterprises the opportunity to meet with a range of diverse funders and to learn about the various grant funding schemes that are available.

We are delighted to again be managing the distribution of the Falkirk Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund’s investment, with the Fund opening for applications on Monday 3rd October. Charities, social enterprises, community and voluntary groups, parent councils, and other third sector organisations operating in the Falkirk Council area can apply for 3 grant types: Small Grants: up to £2,000 for unconstituted groups; up to £5,000 for constituted groups; Medium Grants: up to £10,000; Large Grants: up to £25,000. The Fund will close, and all applications must be submitted by, 12pm on Tuesday 15th November 2022.
