Funding for Fife from People's Health Trust
Created: 28/03/2014
News/Events Category: Funding and Finance
The People’s Health Trust Active Communities funding for Fife was launched on Wednesday 12th March.
People’s Health Trust are looking to support local groups and organisations with great ideas to make their communities an even better place to live and are now invited to apply for funding to turn their ideas into reality.
People’s Health Trust has just launched Active Communities in Fife – a funding programme for local people wanting to create fairer places to grow, live, work and age. Using money raised by HealthGift through The Health Lottery, People’s Health Trust is looking to invest in projects that support people living in the most disadvantaged neighbourhoods in Fife - those who feature in the worst areas of deprivation within the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD).
Active Communities is a funding programme for not-for-profit groups with an income of less than £350,000 a year, seeking investment of between £5,000 and £50,000 for projects lasting up to two years. The projects should take place within a small area for a small group of people, such as 20 or 30 streets or a couple of villages.
John Hume, Chief Executive, People’s Health Trust, says: “We’re looking to support ideas designed and run by local people who help create even stronger links and ties within communities. Whether it’s a tenants and residents’ mediation group or a computer skills group for older people, we’re interested to hear about it.”
“Applying couldn’t be easier - it’s about local people telling us what would make their local community an even better place grow, live, work and age. It’s an online process with a step by step guide from start to finish.”
FVA staff can support any interested group to go through the necessary criteria and prepare an application.
The closing date for applications is 1pm on 23 April 2014.
