TAYSIDE BIODIVERSITY ACTION FUND
In the past few months negotiations have been underway between
the Tayside Biodiversity Partnership and SITA Environmental Trust
to set up a Tayside Biodiversity Action Fund. The new Fund will
be launched on 12th September.
The aim of the Fund will be to deliver
biodiversity conservation and enhancement for UK species and habitats
in Tayside in line with objective DA of the Landfill Tax Credit
Scheme regulations. Projects and actions supported by the Fund
will contribute to the implementation of the Tayside Biodiversity
Action Plan and to the achievements of outcomes and targets identified
within the Plan.
The funding will be shared equitably between the
three local authority areas (i.e. Angus, Dundee, and Perth and
Kinross) over a three-year funding period. It is hoped some projects
will be cross–cutting and cover the whole of Tayside. Upper
and lower grant limits have yet to be confirmed, but may be a maximum
of £30,000. Smaller grant applications of c£500 to £1,000
will be welcomed. The funding will be for 100% project costs, although
match funding will be encouraged for larger projects.
Further information
and finalised details will be announced via the new website: www.taysidebiodiversity.co.uk,
or further details can be obtained from late August via the Biodiversity
Co-ordinator. |
LANDSCAPE PARTNERSHIP
SCHEMES
The Heritage Lottery Fund has a number of funding strands. A new
scheme was launched in 2004 called Landscape Partnerships.
Landscape
Partnership Schemes must include programmes of work that meet all
four of the following priorities:
• Conserving or restoring
the built and natural features that create the historic character
of the landscape;
• Conserving and celebrating the cultural
associations and activities of the landscape area;
• Encouraging
more people to access, learn about, become involved in and make
decisions on their landscape heritage;
• Improving understanding
of local craft and other skills by providing training opportunities.
As the Programme title suggests, a partnership approach is key
to developing a successful application. The Programme will support
Partnerships that conserve areas of land with distinct character.
Grants of between £250,000 and £2m are available to
deliver (up to) a 3-year programme. The next deadline is 1st of
October 2005. Further information can be obtained from the Heritage
Lottery Fund website: http://www.hlf.org.uk |
HERITAGE LOTTERY
FUND SURGERIES
The Heritage Lottery Fund is holding monthly pre-application advice
surgeries on the last Wednesday of the month at its office in Edinburgh.
You can reserve a 45-minute slot with a development officer from
10am to 1pm and 2pm to 4.15pm. To make the best use of your appointment,
send brief details of your project in advance on the pre-application
form downloadable from www.hlf.org.uk. Your appointment will be
confirmed once they receive your project information. There will
also be a Regional Surgery in Dundee on 29th September. |
LLOYDS TSB FOUNDATION
FOR SCOTLAND SURGERIES
The Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland will be holding a series
of surgeries throughout Scotland to discuss potential projects
for which the Foundation may be able to provide financial support.
Surgeries are for local recognised charities and are by appointment
only. For a one-to-one session with an assessor, and to discuss
how to go about putting in an application to the Foundation call
0870 902 1201 to arrange an appointment, or check the website:
www.ltsbfoundationforscotland.org.uk.
|
AWARDS FOR ALL
Here are some important changes and reminders:
• There has
been an increase in the amount of funds going to the Awards for
All scheme – up to £6.2m from £4.5m last year.
• There
has also been a downturn in applications.
• There is now
a two-month turnaround. You are advised to submit your application
three months before the money is needed.
• In the last three
months, 43% of applicants had their forms returned to them as they
were incomplete.
• If your project involves children, your
referee must be in a child-related occupation e.g. head teacher,
youth worker.
• Schools that apply must enclose a letter
of endorsement from the head teacher.
• The name on your
bank account must be identical to that on your constitution – this
is to overcome some fraudulent applications that have taken place.
• Running
costs are only funded for new organisations, for a maximum of one
year.
• If you have had a previous Award for All grant they
will want to see this highlighted in your annual accounts.
• If
you have previously had a grant from them and not submitted an
end of award monitoring report, you will not be eligible for a
second grant.
• 10% of groups will receive a monitoring visit.
Application forms can be downloaded from www.awardsforall.org.uk/scotland. |
B&Q BETTER NEIGHBOUR GRANT
SCHEME
Schools, community groups and charitable organisations can apply
to their local B&Q store for funding to support a local community
project.
The B&Q Better Neighbour Grants are available to help
get a community project up and running. The scheme provides £50
to £500 (at retail cost) of B&Q materials - for example,
pond liners, plants, or peat-free compost for projects such as
a pond or wildlife garden, or paints for redecoration projects.
It is important that the project is sustainable. For example, the
materials and methods used should not cause environmental damage
in the short or long-term. The final result should have long-lasting
benefit to the community. Better Neighbour Grants do not cover
maintenance, so the project should be designed for easy care.
Further
information is available on http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/index.jsp,
or you can call 0845 300 1001. |
UKVILLAGES COMMUNITY KITTY
www.UKVillages.co.uk is a web site that provides a news and information
portal for small towns and villages throughout the UK, with information
for residents, tourists and businesses, as well as helping individuals,
clubs, societies and local businesses share information between
themselves within a four-mile area. Over 30,000 communities have
already joined.
UKVillages operates a Community Kitty for community
projects across the UK, e.g. environmental projects, community
activity groups, playgroups, playgrounds, village halls, youth
initiatives, fetes, technology and heritage.
The closing date for
the next round is 10th October 2005. Allow at least six weeks for
a decision. |
ARGOS IN THE COMMUNITY
Another community-based funding source – Argos focuses on
charities and groups that help young people get the best opportunities
in life, for better health, education and the environment - especially
projects that offer support to local communities.
Support is only
given to registered charities and non-profit making organisations.
The charities supported must focus on children in the areas of
health related issues, education, disadvantaged groups, or improvement
to environmental conditions. All charitable requests must be made
using the Argos Charitable Donation application form available
on the Argos website: www.argos.co.uk. |
ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE
The Scottish Arts Council has a new £1.4m lottery-funded
grant-making programme called Arts Partners in Scotland. It aims
to enable artists to take their work into deprived communities
by creating artists residences across Scotland, giving communities
with little experience of the arts new opportunities to participate.
Priority will be given to proposals focusing on Community Regeneration
Fund areas and residences can last between 3 months and 2 years.
Artists can still dedicate up to 50% of the time to develop their
own work.
Sixteen schemes are already in existence across Scotland.
Grants can be for between £4,000 and £40,000. Check
out www.scottisharts.org.uk/1/funding.aspxand. |
NEW CAIRNGORMS BIODIVERSITY
SMALL GRANTS SCHEME
A new scheme will be officially launched at the beginning of August
along with five other grant schemes supported by the Cairngorms
National Park Authority, SNH, EU LEADER+ and Local Authorities.
The scheme is open to constituted groups (not individuals or businesses)
and covers the old Cairngorms Partnership area (the Local Biodiversity
Action Plan area), i.e. including the Tayside areas of Highland
Perthshire and the Angus Glens. It will offer 100% funding up to £5,000
for projects over a 2-year period (to March 2007).
The grant criteria
will include delivering actions in the Cairngorms Local Biodiversity
Action Plan (LBAP), or one or more of the key themes of the LBAP,
i.e.
• lack of data;
• raising awareness;
• access
to appropriate policy/funding;
• direct habitat loss or fragmentation;
• inappropriate
management,
• climate change & pollution;
• non-native
species;
or delivering objectives from the Scottish Biodiversity
Strategy, and involving the local community, communities of interest
or visitors.
The Biodiversity Grants scheme will be part of a wider "Integrated
Grants Scheme" being developed by the CNPA with LEADER+. There
are five other themes in the grant package (see below) that are
either small grants up to £5,000, or medium grants up to £20,000
but only offer 90%. Some of these schemes can also delivery biodiversity
actions. The contact details for the scheme "Champion" are:
- Local marketing & events (Ruathy Donald – Tel. 01479
870 519)
- Local interpretation planning & implementations
(Andy Ford – Tel. 01479 870 558)

RIGHT TO BUY LEGISLATION
The Land Reform Act came into force in June 2004, but many communities
remain unaware of the opportunities the Act gives them. The Act
allows communities to register an interest in any land including
small plots and buildings. The only land that cannot be registered
is land in settlements that have a population over 10,000 - making
98.5% of land in Scotland eligible to be registered.
Once registered,
the land cannot be sold without the community having an opportunity
to buy it. The legislation can be used to give communities the
option to buy all types of land and property, including farms and
estates, individual fields and plots of land, local business premises
such as local Post Offices, waste ground, industrial sites, housing
or woodlands.
A registration does not oblige you to purchase the
land in future - it merely gives you the option. Funding such as
the Scottish Land Fund may be available to community groups wishing
to subsequently purchase land. If you fail to register and the
land comes on the market, you will have to rely on provisions that
allow the submission of "late" applications. These require
a much stronger case to be made and there are indications that
this may become increasingly difficult.
Check out the website:
http://www.landreformact.com. Advice notes on the website provide
a good simple introduc-tion to the Act. |
COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENTAL RENEWAL
SCHEME (CERS) 2004-2007
If you are Dundee-based and interested in finding sources of potential
funding, visit Dundee City Council's website and register to use
the new Grantnet facility. You will then be able to give details
about your organisation and your project idea and the database
search engine will identify appropriate funding sources and provide
detailed information.
Visit the Council website: http://www.dundeecity.gov.uk
and look for Funding in the A to Z, or contact Alex Scott on 01382
434212. |
SCHOOLS EU TWINNING SCHEME
Over 250 UK primary and secondary schools have already signed up
to twin with European schools through the Internet (including Arbroath
High and Monifieth High, in Angus). It aims to help build partnerships
between schools, and their staff and pupils. Cultural exchange
is a big part of the ambition of the scheme, so it ties in very
much with the 2005 ‘European Year of Citizenship Through
Education’. Check out http://www.etwinning.net for further
information. |
KIDS GET ACTIVE
If you are involved in a local community group, or keeping children
busy over the summer, consider having your own Eco Adventure -
• What
flora and fauna are there in your local parks or in your own backyard?
Complete a Tayside Local Patch Survey form and let us know what
you find—available on the website: www.taysidebiodiversity.co.uk
• How
can you help protect and encourage native species? Grow flowering
herbs or annual plants that attract hoverflies or bumblebees—you
don’t even need a garden—just a window box or a hanging
basket. No room at home? Then encourage your workplace, doctor’s
surgery or health centre, or local school to “grow for wildlife”.
• Water—with
another hot summer on the way how can you help your local community
conserve water?
• Are local businesses wasting energy? How
could you help them cut costs and improve the environment?
Register
on-line to get the Eco Adventure newsletter and to find out how
you could win one of ten awards for £500 for your environmental
project: www.volvocars.co.uk/ecoadventure
If you’re not already
a member of a community group why not contact Wildlife Watch to
find out about activities in your area that anyone—whatever
age they are—can participate in. Visit www.wildlifewatch.org.uk
or call 0870 0367711. |

the conservation of hard-to-fund native species and habitats, marine
reserves, and the control of invasive species.
2. Arts: the scheme
will focus on contemporary visual arts including architecture,
crafts, design, new media, photography, public art and sculpture.
There is also a heritage theme to preserve and provide public access
to collections of historical significance and preserve and provide
public access to buildings of historical or architectural significance.
3. Education: looking at new approaches to education and hard-to-reach
learners of all ages.
4. Social Change - Enterprise and Independence:
to enable people and communities facing disadvantage to improve
their lives.
There are no set deadlines for applications as the
trustees meet four times a year to decide on applications. More

AWARDS FOR
ALL ‘FORMATHON’
In May, Dundee City Council, Dundee Voluntary Action and Angus
Council hosted an Awards for All ‘Formathon’. The
number of organisations applying for an Awards for All grant
in the City has decreased in recent years. The organisers recognise
that the grant is easy to access and a good source of support
for small groups. Over eighty organisations attended the event
and received advice and guidance on sub-mitting an application.
The City and the organisations could benefit to the tune of over £200,000
if all applications are sub-mitted and successful.
Following
on from the ‘Formathon’, organisations in Dundee,
Angus and Perth & Kinross are now involved in the development
of a funding event, called ‘Get Funded!’ to be held
in Dundee on the 1st of November. The event will be in the Marryat
Hall from 11am to 6pm and a host of funding bodies - including
The Big Lottery Fund, Awards for All, Invertay Social Investment
Fund, and Lloyds TSB will be on hand to give advice and guidance
to potential applicants and give presentations. A mini-Formathon
(for Awards for All applications) will form part of the event,
as will training sessions for local groups seeking to use Grantnet.
Access to other funding information sources will also be available.
For further information about the event, check www.awardsforall.org.uk/scotland.

BACK TO SCHOOL
An environmental project can be incorporated into the curriculum
or used as a focus for a breakfast club or after-school activities.
Any youth group could enter an environmental project into the Volvo
Eco Adventure and win £500! In a classroom scenario, though,
a project could be included in:
Geography—as part of developing
a class’s knowledge of environmental change a project could
be entered into the Volvo Eco Adventure. Completing an application
on-line also enables ICT skills to be improved.
Science—the
class could develop a project to look at biodiversity or water
in a whole variety of ways. One of last year’s winning groups
looked at water quality in their local rivers. Preparing such a
project encourages the group to research and present clear data
as well as developing good investigative skills.
The Volvo Eco
Adventure application form is simple to complete. There are ten
annual awards of £500 available and the overall UK winner
will meet other groups from around the world at the International
Volvo Adventure Conference in Sweden.
www.volvocars.co.uk/ecoadventure |
VOLVO ECO ADVENTURE GRANTS
Aimed at young environmentalists aged 10 to 16, the Volvo Eco Adventure
provides awards of £500 to environ-mental projects designed
and run by young people. The dead for applications is not until
December 16th, 2005 so you have plenty of time to get involved.
The website gives information on how to apply as well as some useful
tips and ideas on how to run your own pro-ject, either in the community
or linking into the national curriculum:
