£600,000 available to help South Lanarkshire’s Net Zero Future!
SSE Renewables and Clyde Wind Farm (Scotland) Ltd have opened a £600,000 Sustainable Development Fund to help community projects in South Lanarkshire to prepare for the climate emergency and a net zero world.
Asda Foundation have launched a new Cost of Living Grants scheme which focuses on supporting groups with increased costs relating to rent and utility bill support, as well as increased costs associated with essential food provision. This grant is designed to support the increased running costs groups will face between September 2022 and February 2023.
Applications are open now for grants between £500 - £2,000.

We are absolutely delighted to be launching our new strategy for 2022 to 2024, ‘Moving to Action’.
Our previous strategy ended in 2020, and whilst around 65% to 70% was achieved, we perhaps fell a bit short in a few areas, including our approach to volunteering, and to social enterprise. Through the pandemic, we have been playing our part in supporting South Lanarkshire’s third sector emergency response, our sector stepping up when our communities needed it.
Following the announcement of the second year of Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund in May 2022, VASLan, Third Sector Interface for South Lanarkshire, is proud to continue taking the role of funding lead for the South Lanarkshire area.
We are proud to act as funding lead for South Lanarkshire. We will continue to work with local partners in managing and distributing the funding to organisations and community groups that promote and develop mental health and wellbeing.
The fund will be open to third sector organisations, community groups, and partnerships in South Lanarkshire who are Members of VASLan.
