There are two grant types you can apply for:

Starter Grant

Up to £5,000
Up to 12 months
A small grant to enable you to conduct research, a feasibility study or a test of change for an idea to support self management in Scotland.

Builder Grant

Up to £60,000
Up to 24 months
A larger grant to enable you to either create a new service for your organisation or develop an existing idea to support self management in Scotland.

They are keen to see applications that:

Strengthen the resilience of the people you work with and your organisation
Increase the opportunities for recovery in communities and the third sector
Develop the services that you have identified are required for the future
Contribute to the purpose of the Scottish Government’s Framework for supporting people through Recovery and Rehabilitation during and after the COVID-19 Pandemic
Contribute to the resilience, recovery and development of people, communities and the third sector through and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.

This fund might be relevant to you if you were looking to:

Develop a new Peer Support Group or support the development of an existing one
Provide training to enable people to develop the confidence and skills needed to manage certain issues or scenarios
Recruit, train and support Peer Mentors in some way.
