OPEN FOR APPLICATION: Building and Celebrating Communities (BCC) small grant scheme

VASLan is set to relaunch the Building and Celebrating Communities Programme

VASLan is now inviting applications from organisations and community groups across South Lanarkshire to apply for the small grant scheme Building and Celebrating Communities (BCC) programme. It is a program to get the community groups and grassroots organisations to get BCC appropriate initiatives off the ground.

The BCC programme is based on the principles of Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD). It challenges the wider traditional approaches that try to solve urban and rural development challenges by focusing on the needs and deficiencies of individuals, and communities. The principles demonstrate that people, local assets, and individual strengths are keys to ensuring sustainable community development and that people have a life of their choosing.
