Community and third sector projects that try new ways to tackle poverty and improve people’s lives can now apply for a share of £29m funding from the Scottish Government.
A new £18.9m Aspiring Communities Fund will help organisations to find new, long lasting community led solutions to poverty, by increasing economic activity or enhancing services to meet local needs.
The £9.7 million Growing the Social Economy Programme will enable third sector organisations to try new ideas and approaches by collaborating with research organisations or supporting people to improve their skills.
