Funding is available for community groups with applications open now for a grant of up to £5,000 for each project.
Community Grant Fund is a pot of money set up by the council in 2007 as a way of starting off schemes to help local communities.
The Fund is divided into 13 local funds each applying to a different area of the city. The size of each fund will depend on how many people live in your area, and there is a possibility of more grants becoming available later in the year.
One of the projects funded in this way last year was the Broomhouse Street Party.
If you’re part of a community group with a project in mind, you are encouraged to apply to your local Community Grant Fund today.
Culture and Communities Convener, Councillor Val Walker said: “Our communities are the lifeblood of our city and we’re committed to ensuring that they have the resources to bring their ideas to life.
“From the Pentlands to Portobello and beyond I’m really excited to see the projects that apply for funding during this round of applications.”
