grants, and is open to any registered charity, community interest company (CIC), community or voluntary
group with a bank account delivering services in the Forth Valley area.
The grants are only open to organisations offering support to the following types of work:

- people isolated and lonely
- groups helping with wellbeing and mental health community support
- suicide prevention
- bereavement and end of life support
Phase One will offer seven grants up to £15,000 each with Phase Two offering small (up to £2,000) and micro grants (up to £1,000).
The closing date for Phase One is Monday 1st February. The launch of Phase Two will start on Tuesday 2nd February and close on Friday 26th February.
