Our Falkirk Funders Fayre 2020 exhibitor Firstport has launched their Pounds for Purpose initiative, and are now accepting applications.
Pounds for Purpose is open to young people aged 16 – 26 years old looking to make a positive impact in their communities. Each successful applicant will be awarded up to £500 to help get their idea “up and running”, and to cover some of the start-up costs.
Firstport will also provide business support for those who decide to turn their idea into a business.
To be eligible for the initiative:
- applicants must be aged 16 – 26 years old and permanently reside in Scotland at time of applying
- most people who benefit from the project must reside in Scotland
- proposed projects must not already be up and running on a regular basis
- proposed projects must be developed by an individual or team of individuals, as opposed to a pre-existing, established organisation
- proposed projects must not involve political campaigning or the advancement of religion
There is currently no application deadline.
To apply, or for further information (including FAQs and application guidance), please visit the Firstport website.
