MSP Urges North-East Good Causes to Apply for New Batch of Funding

Stewart Stevenson MSP has urged charities and not-for-profit organisations across the North-east to consider applying for up to £20,000 of People’s Postcode Lottery funding.

There are three grant-giving trusts, funded by players of the People’s Postcode Lottery, which will open for funding applications from good causes between 21st January and 4th February 2020.

The trusts are the People’s Postcode Trust, which supports projects aimed at promoting human rights, combating discrimination and preventing poverty. The Postcode Community Trust is for initiatives seeking to improve the health and wellbeing of communities – including arts and physical recreation projects – as well as those with a focus on reducing isolation. Finally, the Postcode Local Trust, for groups dedicated to improving and increasing access to outdoor space. Groups working on flood prevention measures and looking to implement renewable energy strategies are also eligible to apply.

Registered charities can apply for between £500 and £20,000 while the limit for not-for-profit organisations without charitable status is £2,000.

Stewart Stevenson, Banffshire and Buchan Coast MSP, said:

“This is another fantastic opportunity for some of the great charities and not-for-profit organisations in my constituency to access funding.

“The funding ensures that money goes directly to projects seeking to help communities locally, rather than getting absorbed elsewhere.

“This money can unlock opportunities from tackling poverty, reducing social isolation and tackling flood prevention. I’d strongly encourage constituents to apply.”
