Covid-19 Response Grants Scheme
In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, our Community Grants Scheme transitioned to a Covid-19 Response Scheme in June 2020. The aim of this was to support local organisations and community groups across Forth Valley to address a reduction in health inequalities and/or improve mental health and wellbeing.
Since the scheme was launched, it has provided funding or other support to 132 organisations, across Forth Valley. In addition to this, PPE and hygiene products have been supplied to some organisations to support their activities.
Funding was allocated to a wide range of organisations who found new and innovative ways of providing services and support to a range of individuals and groups. Examples of organisations include schools, nurseries, community groups and sports clubs amongst others.
The grant scheme is currently closed to applications but further updates will be published on this page.
