Community Food and Health (Scotland) has an annual small grants scheme available for groups and agencies in Scotland that wish to improve access to, and take up of, a healthy, varied and balanced diet.
Grants from £500 to £3000 are available and grant recipients are expected to spend their grant money within one year.
The 2012 small grant scheme will open on Tuesday 29 May and close on Friday 10 August. Further information will be available on this website and in our free newsletter, Fare Choice.
The grant scheme is very popular. In 2011, less than one in five applicants were successful. See small grant recipients 2010/2011 to find out who received a grant in 2010.
We will provide information and examples on how food and health activities meet these targets and outcomes in the small grant scheme guidance notes and our special grants edition newsletter.

What will we fund?
The small grant scheme is open to groups and agencies who would like to tackle one or more of the barriers to healthy eating, such as affordability or availability, and the negative impact of culture and lack of food skills. In 2012 applicants will also be required to show how their planned grant funded activities will contribute to targets and outcomes within one or more of three Scottish Government policies or strategies: the Preventing Overweight and Obesity Route Map (2010) and Action Plan (2011), Improving Maternal and Infant Nutrition: A Framework for Action (2011) or Recipe for Success – Scotland’s National Food and Drink Policy (2009).
We will provide information and examples on how food and health activities meet these targets and outcomes in the small grant scheme guidance notes and our special grants edition newsletter.
