The Uddingston Community Council provides Micro Grants to support local initiatives within the community.
These grants are made possible through the South Lanarkshire Renewable Energy Fund.
Micro Grants are designed to offer financial support to individuals and small local groups with modest funding needs.
The application process for Micro Grants is quick and straightforward and is administered by Uddingston Community Council.
Please read the guidelines, complete the form and return it by hand or email to uddcomm@gmail.com.
How much can I apply for?
You can apply for a maximum of £500.
Who is eligible for Micro Grants?
Micro Grants are available to both constituted and non-constituted local groups and, where applicable, individuals.
Individuals must be living in the Uddingston Community Council area.
You can check if an individual’s or an organisation’s address sits within the area of Uddingston Community Council by entering the postcode at https://www.southlanarkshire.gov.uk/info/200168/getting_involved_in_your_community/594/community_councils.
If the postcode is not found you can find out which community council it does reside in by performing an address search at https://www.communitycouncils.scot/community-council-finder.
You can only apply for one micro grant at a time. If you receive funding, you must wait 12 months before applying again unless your Community Council agrees an exception. If your application is not successful, you can reapply straight away.
