The Community Resilience Large Grant has been created for Third sector, voluntary, SCIO, community groups, faith groups; to support projects that improve the preparedness and resilience of its community to an emergency, severe weather event or prolonged power outage.
It is recognised that during emergencies, severe weather events and prolonged power outages VCSEFi groups (Voluntary, Community, Social Enterprise and Faith groups) can and do offer support to communities: for some dealing with crises is their day-to-day business and for others it is an extension of their activities.
Some of these groups have a unique understanding and trust with the community they serve, and can communicate more effectively with them than statutory responders.
To support these organisations to help communities in Aberdeenshire prepare and be resilient to an emergency, severe weather or prolonged power outage Aberdeenshire Council is offering this grant.
The first tranche of applications must be received by 31st July, with a second tranche closing on 30th November.

Welcome to our Community Resilience Strategy page. This is where we host all engagement, consultation and development of our Aberdeenshire Community Resilience Strategy. We will also use it as a handy reference library for documents and guidance that might be helpful

The Body Coach Foundation’s first grant window is now open. The Get Kids Moving Fund will award grants ranging from £1,000–£10,000, to organisations working with children and young people to get them active and support their wellbeing through movement.
The Body Coach Foundation believe every child deserves the chance to move more, feel good, build confidence, and live a healthier, happier life. That’s why this first grant window will focus on organisations helping children and young people.
If you’re part of a charity, sports club or community group working with young people and could benefit from funding, they would love you to apply.
They are expecting lots of organisations to apply, so are starting with a short Expression of Interest form to help manage demand and quickly review applications. They’ll be taking applications throughout June, and if you’re shortlisted, they will then invite you to complete a full grant application in July.
Expression of Interest closes: 30th June
Shortlisted organisations contacted: July
Successful organisations announced: August
