NHS Forth Valley’s Community Grants Scheme will close to new applications in December.

Grants of up to £500 are available until then to support local activities reducing health inequalities and improving mental health. Applications are particularly welcomed from groups which aim to support people around:

fuel poverty or cost of living crisis
domestic abuse
homelessness
ethnic minority communities and other underrepresented groups (eg. LGBTQ)
refugees
Gypsy, Romani, and Travelling (GRT) communities
living with a disability
substance use (eg. based around Scottish Government’s Tobacco Control Strategy in achieving the 2034 target of a smoking population of less than 5%)

NHS Forth Valley will stop processing applications in mid-late December.

To apply, or for further information, please visit the NHS Forth Valley website.
