Almost all third sector groups are on the lookout for funding, whether it’s for everyday running costs, service improvements, or specific projects. However, securing funding is one of the most challenging aspects, especially in these tough economic times.
While we can’t obtain funding for you, we can assist in finding and identifying potential sources. These could include charitable trusts, government or local authority funding, or lottery funding streams.

West Lothian Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund
In March, the Scottish Government announced a further £15m round of funding aimed at mental health projects across Scotland, benefiting adults in local communities.
As your local Third Sector Interface (TSI), we will be managing the distribution of the Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund for Adults in West Lothian. Applications will open at 9am, Monday 30 September 2024 with around £467K available to support local projects.
The previous rounds of funding have significantly benefited West Lothian, supporting a variety of programmes. We are excited to see the positive outcomes that this new round of funding will bring.
