Neighbourhood Support Fund
The Neighbourhood Support Fund replaced the Community Fund from previous years. The aims of the fund did not change and it continued to provide support to voluntary and community groups that were active within their communities, and assisted communities or interest groups with the development of community-based projects. The scheme was provided and divided up between each of the five Area Partnerships (Berwickshire, Cheviot, Eildon, Teviot and Liddesdale and Tweeddale).
The Neighbourhood Support Fund is an application-based funding scheme based on need and was created to mainly fund defined projects but can provide one-off support grants to help sustain groups themselves if necessary.
The 2022/23 Neighbourhood Support Fund was open for applications from 01 April 2022 until 31 March 2023 and approximately £494k was awarded to 134 groups.
The 2023/24 Neighbourhood Support Fund was open for applications from 01 April 2023 until 31 March 2024 and approximately £330k was awarded to 101 groups
