Local groups can apply for grants of up to £10,000 to deliver initiatives that strengthen community life, celebrate heritage, improve wellbeing, and protect our environment. This fund aims to empower people in Torry and Cove choose community projects in a way that reflects their local needs and priorities, by generating sustainable projects for the benefit of local people and their communities.
This year, we’re especially keen to support projects that address community safety, social isolation, mental health, and opportunities for engagement — while still aligning with at least one of our 6 Pillars of the Community & Coast Fund.
The Fund is managed by ACVO, Aberdeen’s Third Sector Interface, on behalf of ETZ Ltd. Funding decisions will be made through a Participatory Budgeting process, giving Torry and Cove residents a direct vote on which projects receive support.
