Community groups from across Glasgow are being offered a share in a £62,500 cash bonanza.

For the first time, a £62,500 Community Cash fund raised through Sport Relief is being made available to small groups in the city who help people living tough lives.

Grants of between £500 and £1000 are available to constituted groups working in a disadvantaged or deprived area in Glasgow which have an income of less than £50,000 (in the last year).

The Scottish Community Foundation is administering the programme in partnership with Comic Relief and the Evening Times.

The kind of activities which might receive funding include parent and toddler groups, community festivals, cross generational work, befriending for older, isolated people and lunch clubs.

For more information, please visit our Sport Relief Community Cash page (this will open in a new window). Here you can apply online and download application guidelines.

And don’t forget to do your bit by entering the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile in Glasgow on March 21. Sport Relief encourages the nation to get active, raise cash and change lives. Any money you raise will be spent by Sport Relief in Glasgow, across the rest of the UK and in the world’s poorest countries.
