Small grants scheme closed

Funding from £500 to £3,000

Community Food and Health (Scotland) has an annual small grants scheme available for groups and agencies in Scotland who 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 2011 small grant scheme has now closed. We plan to run a small grants scheme in 2012. 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.

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.

For more information on what we will or will not fund, please see our guidance notes.

Who can apply? / Who can't apply?

We welcome applications from groups and agencies working with or within low-income communities throughout Scotland.

Individuals and/or private companies cannot apply for a grant from us.

For more information on who can and can't apply, please see our guidance notes.
