Supporting Scotland’s vibrant voluntary sector

Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations

The Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations is the membership organisation for Scotland's charities, voluntary organisations and social enterprises. Charity registered in Scotland SC003558. Registered office Mansfield Traquair Centre, 15 Mansfield Place, Edinburgh EH3 6BB.

Summary

The fund supports projects run by 11-26-year-olds and aims to support young people to connect with nature and make a positive impact on Scotland’s environment and biodiversity. The outcomes for the fund are that young people:

  • Have access to improving their local environment.
  • Are encouraged to be engaged in their community through nature.
  • Are supported to increase their knowledge and understanding of Scottish nature.
  • Are empowered through opportunities to connect to nature and take action for nature and climate.

Your ideas could be anything that connects young people to Scotland’s nature or provides opportunities for young people to take action for the environment. From short films to art exhibitions, conservation projects, community gardens, or nature trails.

The Future Routes Fund is for young people, by young people. It was created by Scotland's youth biodiversity panel, ReRoute.
