Funding at your fingertips

Offer grant funding for projects which support the vision of a more sustainable and equal society, where constraints on fossil fuels lead to a more localised economy with stronger, more resilient, communities, and where human activities take account of climate change and the wider environment.

Led by an independent panel of experts drawn from the voluntary, environmental, arts, heritage, engineering and architecture sectors, the Living Waterways Awards celebrate the work done by individuals, communities and organisations to improve their canals and rivers, making them exciting places to live, learn and spend time. Award categories are: Arts, Culture & Events; Built Environment; Engaging Communities; Heritage & Conservation; Learning & Skills; Natural Environment.

The fund will support and develop a range of projects/initiatives which deliver targeted interventions designed to tackle alcohol-related harms across three themes: young people (aged under 18); families; communities. Research commissioned by the Scotch Whisky Association suggests that there are gaps in provision across each of these themes and that the range of interventions and good practice are not fully developed. The Fund will focus on applications from new/innovative or pilot initiatives which aims to test new approaches and which will offer an opportunity for learning that others can use.
