Funding and Finance


The Voluntary Action Fund (VAF) has announced the launch of the Community Chest, a new grant aimed at small community groups across Scotland.

The Community Chest will provide grants of up to £1,000 to help community groups with revenue income under £25,000.

The aim of the scheme is to help build the capacity of groups in Scotland to deliver their activities. Those 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.

VAF is particularly keen to fund community groups from Clackmannanshire, Inverclyde and South Ayrshire.

Applications can be made at any time.
