Local Improvement
Fund

The Highland Alcohol & Drugs Partnership (Highland ADP) has awarded Scottish Government funds for third sector organisations in Highland. We are offering at least nine grants of up to £10,000 to be spent over 12 months from January 2025. 

 

This community-led approach can improve participation in local services, promote community resilience and encourage collaboration between providers, so we are delighted to be able to offer more of these grants to providers in the third sector.

​

Applications must be submitted by 5pm, Wednesday 27 November 2024.

You can apply for grants of up to £10,000 maximum, to help fund drug and alcohol related activities which complement the aims of the Scottish Government’s National Mission on drug-related deaths and harms.

 

Scottish Government National Mission on Drug Deaths: Plan 2022-2026. 

This fund is seeking to achieve outcomes as follows:

  1. Fewer people develop problem drug and alcohol use

  2. Risk is reduced for people who take harmful drugs and/or alcohol.

  3. People at most risk have access to treatment and recovery.

  4. People receive high quality treatment and recovery services.

  5. Quality of life is improved to address multiple disadvantages.

  6. Children, families and communities affected by substance use are supported.

 

The focus of the Fund is on projects which help whole communities and/or community groups of any age. 

​

The underlying principle we will be looking for is meaningful involvement of the community (thematic or geographic) you aim to support with your proposals.

 

Previous grant recipients may apply for ongoing projects, if your evaluation demonstrates that your project effectively addresses any of the stated outcomes of this fund, and this would not overlap with a project currently funded.

​

We would welcome projects that are both Highland-wide and those that focus on a particular local area. 

​

This fund is aimed at organisations who could start their project on or around January 2025 and no later than 31 March 2025. We would anticipate projects would be concluded within 12 months.
