UK-wide Climate Action Fund now open for second round
Here are the key facts (you can find full details on our website): Funding available: We’re offering two types of funding in this round - development funding up to £150,000, and full awards up to £1.5 million. We expect to make 12 to 15 awards in total in this round, and to award more development grants than full awards. We don’t have a quota or separate budget for different parts of the UK, but we want to fund a range of projects that reflect a mix of different communities and places, so we’re keen to get the word out in Scotland. It would be fantastic if you would help us share this with any relevant networks or groups you think might be interested in applying, and on social media using #ClimateFundUK and tagging us (@TNLComFundScot). Types of project we’ll fund: Medium to large scale projects addressing waste and consumption. We are looking to support place-based, community-led partnerships that will make the changes in their community they believe will have the biggest impact on climate change. Who can apply: We’re looking to invest in community-led partnerships that are made up of a mix of organisations from different sectors. But the lead applicant should be a community-based organisation (e.g. voluntary sector organisation, social enterprise, school – see our website for a full list) and that’s who we looking for at this stage. Deadline: submit initial ideas by 5pm on Thursday 8 April 2021

We know living with diabetes is difficult, there are so many factors to consider and it can be stressful just coping with normal everyday ups and downs at the best of times. During the current pandemic the most important thing anyone with diabetes can do is try their best to manage their condition carefully.
