Community Chest - VAF's New Grant Programme

The Voluntary Action Fund is pleased to annouce that September will see the launch of the Community Chest, a new grant aimed at small community groups across Scotland.  We are particularly keen to fund community groups from Clackmannanshire, Inverclyde and South Ayrshire.

The Community Chest will provide grants of up to £1,000 to help small community groups with an income of under £25,000 fund their activities.

The aim of the Community Chest is to help build the capacity of groups in Scotland to deliver their activities.  Groups in receipt of a grant will also have the opportunity to attend a number of free workshops covering topics such as charity law, making successful funding applications and managing money.
