Details

Funds projects and organisations which provide activities and support to children, young people and their families living in the specified Glasgow areas (Govan, Pollock, Bridgeton, Easterhouse, Parkhead, Drumchapel, Possilpark) and the surrounding communities in which they are based. Inequalities exist in these areas and the fund aims to tackle the associated challenges.

Funded activities will support the health and wellbeing of children, young people and their families. A key focus is activities which involve children, young people and their families. Children, young people, siblings, parents, grandparents, carers and blended families can all be beneficiaries.

Activities could include:

• provide training and support for staff, volunteers and families supporting children and young people with additional support needs
• provide peer support models
• support for specific groups such as dad only groups or groups for parents who have disabled children
• tackle the barriers that families face in accessing/participating in activities/services
• support minority ethnic and asylum seekers and refugee families

There are two strands: Strand One projects will deliver activities focused on supporting children, and their families through a range of different community based activities. Strand Two projects will look to extend or adapt an existing successful project or pilot a new one. Partnership applications are more aligned with the second strand.

They can fund:

• Staff costs including recruitment, expenses and training
• Volunteer costs including expenses and training
• Direct project costs
• Contribution to overheads
• Accessibility costs
