Funding
Buchan Development Partnership provides support to community groups looking for funding. The development officer can carry out a funding search for your project and provide support with applications.
The funding finder is a helpful tool for your project.
We support various grant schemes to assist local organisations to improve their communities, organise local events and generally help communities to help themselves.
Winter Warmer Grants
The Buchan Community Planning Partnership Winter Warmer Grant has been launched in response to the significant rises in costs, particularly in relation to energy and food costs.
This small grant scheme is open to any constituted groups that want to provide a Warm Space for local people to get out of the cold and socialise with others. The fund can be used to pay for any cost of living challenges faced such heating costs, activities or refreshments for your sessions. To apply for a grant of up to £500 email: info@bdp.scot
