Since 2014, Foundation Scotland has awarded 45 grants – worth over £120,000 – to Men’s Sheds across Scotland from various funds that they manage on behalf of their donors. Locations sharing the funding include Peterhead, St Andrews, Hamiton and the Gorbals.
Foundation Scotland is now making Sheds aware of a current funding opportunity – the GVC Fund – which reopened at the end of August and offers grants up to £5,000. One of the funds aims is to fund projects that ‘supports men’s physical and mental health’ and is therefore a perfect fit for Sheds.
In 2019, there were four successful applications from Kelso Men’s Shed; Springburn Park Men’s Shed; Dalbeattie Men’s Shed; and Banchory and District Men’s Shed.
The GVC Fund closes on 27th September so don’t delay. Apply today at:
