Deadline: 17-Jun-22
The Scottish Government have indicated that the next round of the Regeneration Capital Grant Fund (RCGF) is now open for stage 1 applications.
The Regeneration Capital Grant Fund, delivered in partnership with COSLA and local government, supports locally developed place based regeneration projects that involve local communities, helping to tackle inequalities and deliver inclusive growth in deprived, disadvantaged and fragile remote communities across Scotland.
Area of Focus
The Fund has four areas of focus-
- Projects that primarily focus on areas which suffer from high levels of deprivation and disadvantage;
- Projects that demonstrate clear community involvement;
- Projects that will deliver transformational change with strong regeneration outcomes;
- Projects and programmes which have the potential to lever in private sector investment and address long term market failure.
Eligible projects
Applications are not restricted in geography, size or type of project. It will be for applicant organisations to demonstrate that projects fit with the aims and objectives of the fund and can demonstrate clear regeneration outcomes in line with their strategy document Achieving a Sustainable Future and local area regeneration plans.
Eligibility Criteria
RCGF is open to applications from all of Scotland’s 32 local authorities, either individually or if they exercise their functions through an urban regeneration company or another special purpose vehicle.
Criteria
- Address a local need for services and/or employment;
- Support from local community organisation(s);
- Support from local elected members;
- Evidence of match funding for capital works;
- Evidence of revenue funding and a viable business plan;
- Bringing Listed buildings or other buildings of merit back into productive use;
