Climate Action Fife opens Small Grants Fund

Funding is available to support community organisations who want to engage local people in action to tackle the climate emergency.

The Climate Action Fife Small Grants Fund is open to any community organisation based in Fife who would like to trial activities to engage their community in climate action. Groups can apply for a grant of up £500 to support activities such as climate-themed film showings, climate conversations or hands-on activities. Applications for funding close on Sunday 4th December.

Craig Leitch, Senior Development Worker, Greener Kirkcaldy said: “To successfully tackle the climate emergency we need to encourage action at a local level. These grants are aimed at any locally based groups who would like to get their community involved.

“Recipients could include community councils, faith groups, local charities and community groups. Applying for the grant is a simple process and we’re holding an online information event next month for anyone who would like to find out more.”

A total of £7,500 is available, which will help support 15 organisations across Fife. Projects need to be delivered between 30th January and 17th April 2023.
