Since launching in 2022, the Community Fund has made a meaningful difference to local communities, awarding £284,100 in grants to 389 organisations. In 2024 alone, over 131 groups received funding, with a total of £120,000 distributed to worthy causes.

The initiative has helped a wide range of local projects, from supporting grassroots sports teams and music groups to funding environmental improvements and replenishing foodbanks.

David McGrath, executive managing director, Scotland and North, expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative.

He said: “We are committed to making a difference in the areas where we build, and the Community Fund allows us to provide much-needed support to a variety of local causes. Over the years, we’ve been able to help groups at all stages—whether they are just starting out or looking for additional funding to continue their valuable work.

“We encourage all eligible organisations to apply, whether they’re enhancing local green spaces, encouraging participation in sports and activities, or supporting wellbeing and education.”

Applicants will be asked to outline how they plan to use the funding to benefit their community. Grants will range from a minimum of £250 to a maximum of £2,000. Successful applicants will be notified in May, with funding awarded early summer.
