Coronavirus Newsflash

Funding for Third Sector organisations and Communities

The Third Sector Resilience Fund (TSRF) is now open for application and we are urging all community groups eligible to apply as soon as possible. The primary intention of the fund is to help third sector organisations to stabilise and manage cash flows over this difficult period.

To be eligible, interested organisations must be:

  • a charity, social enterprise or voluntary organisation based in Scotland and/or primarily delivering services/activities in Scottish communities;
  • already delivering those products or services prior to March 2020;
  • and needing funding to stabilise cashflows directly as a result of the impact of COVID-19, as opposed to pre-existing financial difficulties
SCVO have launched a Coronavirus Third Sector Information Hub which you can access here. A Supporting Communities Fund and the Wellbeing Fund will open for application very soon, and we will circulate information about those as soon as we can.

Coronavirus Information page on our website

We have added a new page to the Scottish Rural Action website that will collate sources of information and advice in one place. This can be found at the top of our home page. We will update it regularly as new information, advice and sources of funding are published. Please do let us know if you think there's anything we need to add to this page.

Scottish Rural Action is compiling examples of how different communities are dealing with the challenges presented by Corvid-19. We will then collate them and share these on our website. If you would like to share examples of what your community is doing, please send information or direct links to information on your website. You can send these by email to us on info@sra.scot.


Business Support and Funding

We know that businesses in rural Scotland will already be feeling the impact of Covid-19.  The first tranche of business grants have now opened for application, and a series of sector specific support, such as seafood industry support, is starting to be announced.

The new Find Business Support website is updated regularly with links to business advice and grant and loan application information, and it is well worth reading if your business is affected.
