Now in its second year, the scheme aims to provide support for a wide range of charities, schools and good causes in the areas in which CALA operates. In 2017, 118 initiatives across the country received a share of more than £100,000, including homelessness charity The Kindness Project.

Jim McIntyre, regional MD for CALA Homes (West), said: “CALA has always been committed to making a positive and lasting contribution to the communities in which it builds, through an active programme of local charity donations, community support and sponsorship. The community bursary scheme gives us the chance to find out exactly what support is needed locally and provides the opportunity for charities and groups of all sizes to apply for funds.

“The deadline for entries is fast approaching and we would urge any local organisations that would like to be considered for a share of the community bursary to apply now.”

The £15,000 fund will be split into three £5,000 pots spanning Glasgow, Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire.
