    Voluntary Action Fund (VAF) manages the Social Isolation and Loneliness Fund (SIALF) on behalf of the Scottish Government. The aim of the £500,000 one-year Fund is to support community-based projects tackling social isolation. To be eligible organisations should have an annual income of under £250,000. Grants of up to £20,000 are available.

    The deadline for applications is Friday 20 May 2016. Funded projects will be delivered between July 2016 and June 2017, by which time all activities should be concluded and all grant money spent.

    The outcomes for the Social Isolation and Loneliness Fund are
    • An increase in social connectedness of people experiencing disadvantage; and
    • A reduction in the effects of social isolation in people experiencing disadvantage.
