Deadline: 29-Aug-22
The ASH Scotland is inviting applications for its Small grants community organisations access to support to help improve wellbeing in their communities by addressing smoking.
They are particularly interested in engaging with organizations in Scotland:
- In the third sector, either as a registered charity or constituted community group.
- Working in communities with areas of multiple deprivation.
- Or working with specific community of interest where smoking prevalence is typically higher (eg care experience, homelessness, offending behavior, mental health, young carers).
- With an interest and commitment to improving people's health and wellbeing.
- Who are not currently funded to deliver activity on smoking and tobacco issues.
Purpose
- The purpose of our small grants support package is to engage with and support organizations working in communities where smoking prevalence is typically higher (for example, SIMD 1 & 2 or other vulnerable groups).
- Activities must be clearly focused on the theme of improving wellbeing by addressing smoking.
Benefits
- A small grant of £500 for participating in the project.
- A package of tailored support.
- Access to free resources and training.
You can't use the grant to
- Purchase tobacco products, vapes or e-cigarettes.
- Purchase or refurbish buildings, land or vehicles.
- Fund any work outside of Scotland.
- Cover retrospective costs for projects that have already happened.
Eligibility Criteria
To apply organisations need:
- To be a registered charity or constituted community group.
- A management committee or board with at least three unrelated members.
- A bank account in the name of the group or charity.
- To be signed up to Scotland's Charter for a Tobacco-free Generation – or be prepared to sign-up if your application is successful.
