Dundee Partnership Community Regeneration Fund

This funding is available on a Ward by Ward basis for projects that aim to reduce deprivation and provide additional opportunities to close the gap for those living in our Community Regeneration Areas (incorporating places in the 15% most deprived data zones in Scotland).

Applications fall into three types;

• Youth Inclusion. Focussing on work with children & young people, and providing activities and opportunities for them
• Physical & Environmental Improvements. Used to make improvements to buildings, playparks, green spaces, etc. These awards have a minimum spend of £6k
• Small Grants. A catch-all category for smaller applications, up to £5k (though some Wards impose a lower limit – ask your local Community Worker)

Applications are assessed and awarded on a monthly basis, with a turnaround of approximately 8 weeks from application to award. In the six Wards with Community Regeneration Areas, recommendations on funding are made by a Forum of elected local residents. In the West End and The Ferry, the Local COmmunity Planning Partnership makes these. The application form can be found here.

Common Good Fund

This funding is available for one-off awards that support ‘the common good’. Approximately £100k is available each year, with all applications assessed on their individual merit. Guidance is contained in the form, available here, but if more information on potential eligibility is needed the contact is paul.davies@dundeecity.gov.uk.
