CARDENDEN and Kinglassie MP, Peter Grant, is encouraging local charities and good causes to apply for over £3 million of funding that is available for the People’s Postcode Lottery.
Applications opened on Wednesday February 6 and will be accepted until February 20, where a whole host of good causes from social enterprises to voluntary groups and registered charities are eligible to apply for grants of between £500 and £20,000.
The financial support is available through three different trusts. Each trust supports projects focussed on specific themes:
Sports groups for military veterans, counselling support services for young carers and accessible play parks are just a few examples of the over 1,600 projects that were successful in their application and received funding in 2018.
Peter Grant MP, said: “This funding from People’s Postcode Lottery already makes a huge difference to thousands of good causes across Scotland. I for one know that there are many good causes in my constituency that would love a cash boost for a specific project. So, I would sincerely encourage all and any local charities or good causes to apply for this funding as soon as possible".
