National Lottery Awards for All offers funding to support what matters to people and communities. The programme is a partnership between the National Lottery Community Fund Scotland, sportscotland and Creative Scotland. It has three funding priorities: - bringing people together and building strong relationships in and across communities - improving the places and spaces that matter to communities - enabling more people to fulfil their potential by working to address issues at the earliest possible stage. If you are applying for a project involving the arts, they will prioritise projects that: engage people from areas of high deprivation; remove financial barriers to access creative activities; address rural isolation and encourage activity in rural areas; engage older people, people in care homes and carers; engage care leavers; support integration of refugees and asylum seekers. If you are applying for a project focused on sport, they will prioritise projects that: engage young people from our most deprived areas; engage girls and young women; engage disabled young people.

Community Building Grants are aimed at charities helping people and communities in Scotland who are experiencing (or at risk of experiencing) poverty, trauma or both. With this capital funding, they want to support the physical development and/or improvement of buildings that will be used to host or deliver a range of work addressing the impacts of poverty and/or trauma under one or more of the following themes: - Financial wellbeing, - Emotional wellbeing and relationships - Educational and work pathways. See funder website for details of target groups.

Funding to support communities to bring real improvements to the places they live and the wellbeing of those in need. They will fund organisations to deliver work that achieves the following outcomes: - Everyone in the community has the opportunity to influence and get involved in community led activity - People in the community are better connected and work together to improve their wellbeing.

Funding for people experiencing challenges in their lives to help them overcome this and become more resilient. They want to fund activity which means people: - are better able to identify solutions that enable them to take control over their lives and build resilience - are able to shape the projects and services they use to better meet their needs - have more access to support and opportunities to improve their lives.

They give grants for children and young people of 18 years and under experiencing disadvantage through: illness, distress, abuse or neglect; any kind of disability; behavioural or psychological difficulties; living in poverty or situations of deprivation.

Projects achieve these differences by either working directly with children or seeking to improve their social and physical environments. Applicants should have: - Well-established links with young people - The skills and expertise they have for the work they are requesting funding for - A track record delivering the work they are requesting funding for - Evidence of working alongside other organisations in their local community

FareShare saves good food destined for waste and sends it to charities and community groups who transform it into nutritious meals for vulnerable people. The food they redistribute is fresh, quality and in date surplus from the food industry and the charities they work with can be found across the UK.

The aim of this programme is to advance community resilience, empower local communities, enhance community spirit, increase responsive healing activities, stimulate inclusive national identity and facilitate responsive and inclusive local support provisions.
