Thematic Fund Year 2- Now Open for Applications

This fund is now open for applications and will close Friday 27th March 2026 at 5pm. This fund will have two funding strands:

Innovation Strand

This strand will aim to fund projects with new approaches to prevention and early intervention. Priority activities include:

  • Proactive engagement with vulnerable people 
  • Tackling loneliness and isolation 
  • Volunteer development projects 

The Under Represented Areas Strand

This strand will support the residents of the Northern corridor and surrounding villages of Airdrie. Priority activities include:

  • Proactive engagement with vulnerable people 
  • Tackling loneliness and isolation

But most demonstrate a clear tailoring of the proposed project to meet the needs of one of these two communities.
