Year 6 Small Grants Fund - NOW OPEN

The Communities Mental Health & Wellbeing Fund for Adults was established by the Scottish Government in 2021 and to date has distributed around £99 million to projects across Scotland. The aim of the fund is to support community-based initiatives that promote and develop good mental health and wellbeing for adults, with a particular focus on prevention and early intervention. In East Dunbartonshire the fund is distributed by East Dunbartonshire Voluntary Action.

The next round of the fund in East Dunbartonshire will open to applications for Small Grants on Tuesday the 1st of September 2026. Third Sector Organisations operating in East Dunbartonshire can apply for up to £5,000; this will cover activity for the period April 2027-March 2028. Organisations who have already received 2 year funding covering 2026 - 2028 can’t apply in this round but if you have a 1 year grant then you are very welcome to apply.
