Details

The fund provides grants that preserve and develop the area of Larbert, Stenhousemuir & Torwood as a great, friendly place to live, supporting activity that improves the look and feel of the area, brings people together and enhances the community for future generations.

The fund’s priorities are to support charitable activity that:

• Improves the physical appearance of the community (including the town centre) and makes better use of our public spaces;
• Develops community services, events and facilities to better meet the diverse needs of local people;
• Preserves and enhances the natural environment for the benefit of those who live in the area;
• Builds the skills, capacity and sustainability of community organisations serving the area.

Grants may support a wide range of costs, for example, the costs of equipment, staff or sessional workers, consultations, running costs for local groups, maintenance or refurbishment of community facilities, and so on.

The Panel is particularly keen to receive applications from:

• Groups that haven’t applied to the fund before;
• Groups that are providing services or activity that benefits the elderly;
• Groups that are planning projects which will increase provision currently available;
• Groups planning activity that will increase participation in community activity.

Applicants are also required to consider some cross-cutting issues appropriately and proportionately relative to their project; see fund website for full details.
