New Funding Programme to Support Vulnerable People (Scotland)

In response to the cost-of-living crisis, the Bank of Scotland Foundation has announced a new funding programme to improve the quality of life for some of Scotland’s most vulnerable people.

The Energise Programme will offer two-year unrestricted grants of £20,000 (£10,000 per annum) to help small and local charities continue to provide their vital services, and become more sustainable.

The funding can be used towards core costs, delivery costs, project costs and/or general running costs, enabling charities to use their funding in the most effective way.

The programme will open to applications from charities with an annual income of less than £150,000 on the 28th May 2024.

The Bank of Scotland has announced the Energise Fund as a key component of its new five-year strategy. This initiative is among several funding programmes aimed at addressing the needs and aspirations of vulnerable individuals in Scotland.

The closing date for applications will be the 6th June 2024.
