Grant News
To help urban and rural communities to become more resilient and sustainable, the National Lottery Community Fund is awarding grants of between £5,000 and £1 million to enable voluntary, community and public sector organisations to take ownership of land and buildings.
Successful applicants will clearly demonstrate that their project will help their local community to:
- achieve more sustainable economic, environmental and/or social development through ownership of land and buildings
- have a stronger role in and control over their own development
- own well-managed, financially sustainable land and buildings.
Delivered in partnership with the National Lottery Community Fund and Highlands and Islands Enterprise, The Scottish Land Fund enables both urban and rural communities to successfully manage local land and land assets to meet local need and deliver benefit for the whole community.
Applicants can be from one of a wide range of representative community bodies, including voluntary organisations, social enterprises or community councils.
Practical support will also be provided to help communities to develop their aspirations into viable projects.
Applications can be made at any time.
