Knowledge is Power Programme: Deadline Extended

Posted on October 10, 2019

The Knowledge is Power programme has extended its application deadline to Friday 18^th October.

The programme, delivered by the Scottish Community Development Centre (SCDC) and the Poverty Alliance, will support 6 community organisations in developing their own evidence to influence change in their communities and to take forward actions for improvement.

Support will consist of group training in community-led action research, with tailored onsite support and advice to help successful applicants deliver a community-led action research project. Some support costs are available to help groups to deliver their project; this might include running costs (such as venues and research materials), or making sure people can take part (including translation, childcare, travel and personal assistance).

There will also be opportunities for successful groups to work together and share learning with other participating community projects.

The programme is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund and Scottish Government.

To apply, or for further information (including FAQs), please visit the Knowledge is Power website.
