We are also aware that many people are undertaking great work in their area but often struggle to get the support they need. </p><p>We therefore want to support community groups undertaking work that helps people of all ages feel more included in their community, builds their skills and increases their sense of achievement. </p><p>Here are just a few examples of the kinds of group we’re looking for:</p><p>← parent and toddler groups ← dad and lads groups ← youth groups or older people’s groups ← community festival committees. </p><p>Grants can support a wide range of costs, including running costs, project costs, or equipment.</p><p>How to apply</p><p>Apply online or download an application form at www.scottishcf.org/srcommunitycash Alternatively contact the Scottish Community Foundation on 0141 341 4960.</p>
