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 Caledonian Exchange, 19A Canning Street, Edinburgh EH3 8EG.

Details

The Vinehill Trust makes grants to charitable, educational and ecclesiastical organisations across the United Kingdom in three areas of special interest: music, heritage, and health.

  • Music The Vinehill Trust will consider applications that support and build the United Kingdom's choral and organ traditions, with a focus on children and young people. In addition, the Trust will consider applications to support the repair and restoration of historically or musically valuable organs in churches, cathedrals, civic buildings, or concert venues.
  • Heritage They help fund historic building restoration projects that provide employment and training in traditional building crafts, including niche crafts such as carving, marbling, graining, stucco and scagliola work, mural and fresco work, leadwork, thatching, gilding, stained glass conservation and encaustic tiling and tile restoration. The term 'historic building' includes twentieth century buildings of architectural distinction.
  • Health The Vinehill Trust provides funding to address underfunded and overlooked health issues, focusing on projects that directly benefit individuals and communities, especially those that are marginalised or under-served.

Who can apply

Charitable, educational and ecclesiastical organisations based in the UK (or the Channel Islands and Isle of Man) may apply. Public sector and statutory bodies may apply only where the project is undertaken in partnership with a charitable body and the funding sought does not replace ordinary public funding. Eligibility criteria vary by funding theme; applicants should refer to the relevant theme guidelines before applying.

When to apply

Applications can be submitted at any time for most funding themes. The health strand operates a mix of permanent focus areas (open at any time) and temporary focus areas organised into annual cycles, each with their own application windows. Applicants should check the current health guidelines for the active cycle and focus areas before applying.
