The Lintel Trust has announced the reopening of its Small Grant Fund, aimed at supporting community-led projects closely linked to social housing providers in Scotland. This initiative underscores the Trust's commitment to empowering grassroots efforts that enhance the well-being of housing communities.
Eligible organisations can apply for grants of either £500 or £1,000 to be utilised within a 12-month period from the date of award. The fund focuses on projects that:
- tackle social isolation in housing communities
- promote digital participation for housing communities
- enable older people to remain independent and in their own home
- enable people with disabilities to live independently
- assist people moving from homelessness into a secure tenancy
To qualify, applicants must be not-for-profit entities based in Scotland with a close connection to a housing association, housing co-operative, or other social housing provider such as a local authority. Additionally, organisations should have an annual turnover under £500,000 and possess Equal Opportunities and Protecting Vulnerable People policies.
There are a number of application deadlines for 2025. The next deadline is the 30th April 2025, followed by the 13th August, and 7th October.
