The National Lottery Community Fund gives grants to hundreds of organisations in Scotland. The Lottery is now extending the help it gives by inviting funded organisations to be part of a Developing Sustainability programme, facilitated by Social Enterprise Academy. If your organisation has received Lottery funding (with an environmental purpose/project or to deliver environmental benefits), you are invited to join the upcoming programme.

Due to take place online and in person in Dundee, September 2026 – November 2026, and together with people from eight other Lottery funded organisations, Social Enterprise Academy will help participants develop their organisation to be more sustainable in every sense. Participants can share experiences, develop new ideas and connect with people in the same position.

Two cohorts of this programme are currently scheduled to take place in the Autumn of 2026:

Option 1: Based at The Circle CIC (Dudhope Castle, Barrack Street, Dundee, DD3 6HF), sessions will take place on Monday 21 September 2026, Tuesday 22 September 2026, Wednesday 4 November 2026, and Thursday 5 November 2026, 9:30am – 4pm each day, with lunch and refreshments provided.
Option 2: Held Online via Zoom, sessions will place on Wednesday 9 September 2026, Thursday 10 September 2026, Wednesday 7 October 2026, and Thursday 8 October 2026, 10am – 4pm each day.
