Community fund cash is available

A MULTI- MILLION- POUND fund to allow Scottish communities to buy, manage or develop buildings or land is now available.

Between now and 2020 up to £45 million of Big Lottery Fund cash will be available through Community Assets to support community-led projects to develop or build assets for their public use.

Groups can apply for grants of between £10,000 and £1 million and, where needed, will receive professional technical support and advice from Community Asset mentors to turn project ideas into reality.

The Big Lottery Fund in Scotland has £250 million to support people and communities dealing with challenging circumstances.
