The ASH Scotland is offering 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 behaviour, 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 organisations working in communitieswhere 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.

You can't use the grant to

Eligibility Criteria
