News on Rethink Glasgow

Thank you for contributing to Rethink Glasgow!

We have just discovered that Glasgow City Council has been awarded an allocation from the Scottish Government’s Place Fund. The fund seeks to support community wealth building, promote wellbeing and inclusive economic development, and support projects that help achieve carbon net zero.

This is the first of five annual allocations from this Fund, and the Council is inviting applications to fund capital projects which address four key themes:

This is a great opportunity to apply for funding to take forward any community focussed projects. More information can be found here: https://www.surf.scot/glasgow-city-council-the-place-fund-2021-22-call-for-applications/

The deadline for applications for 2021/22 is 12 noon on Friday 21st January 2022. Applicants will be notified of the outcome by 31st January.

A further call-out for projects to be funded in 2022/23 will be made in spring 2022 which may be more achievable, given the tight timescales.

We will be talking to Glasgow City Council over the next few months about the findings from the heatmap . Thank you again for participating. We will provide further updates in due course but in the meantime, if you have any local projects which you would like to apply for funding, we hope you will find this post useful.
