Investing in Communities: Life Transitions

Posted on May 22, 2015

Grants of between £10,000 and £1 million are available to projects that support people at key times of change in their lives and to help them make these transitions.

The Big Lottery Fund (BIG) is looking to fund a wide range of activities and services; for example, projects may focus on offering supported employment and creating new jobs, encouraging mentoring, befriending and peer support, building financial literacy, financial capability and financial inclusion, or developing basic and softer skills such as communication skills.

The funding is available to Local Authorities and Community Councils; Social enterprises; and Private Companies (provided their grants do not contribute to the profits you distribute). There is a two stage application process and the closing date for stage 1 applications is 12pm on Tuesday 30th June 2015.

For further information please visit The Big Lottery Fund’s website or call CVS Falkirk and speak with Tariq or Claire on 01324 692000, alternatively you can email: info@cvsfalkirk.org.uk
