The OneCity Trust is pleased to announce the “Bringing People Together” Main Grant Funding Programme to tackle the impact that poverty has on people in Edinburgh.
In 2025 they want to support activities which bring people who are impacted by poverty and social isolation together in ways which are creative, impactful and have the potential to have lasting legacy.
Funding Information
- Funding Available: In 2025, grants available will be up to a maximum £5,000. However, they recognise that impactful activities can often cost less, and they welcome applications of less than £5,000.

- Applications from partnerships or consortiums are welcomed, however, one of the partners must apply as the lead organisation who will be accountable for the grant.
