Borders charities and community groups invited to apply for part of £3million funding

Charities and community groups in the Scottish Borders are being encouraged to apply for their share of £3 million in funding.

The People’s Postcode Lottery’s Dream Fund say they are looking for charities to apply for funding to bring their ‘dream’ project to life.

Funding from the scheme, now in its eighth year, will be offered over two years from 2018.

This year’s prize fund is the largest ever with a top award of £1 million and a total award fund of £3 million.

The Fund encourages collaboration between charities and good causes, to finance and deliver a project they have not had the opportunity to develop.

Applications for the Dream Fund are open until Tuesday 22 August. Winners will be announced in January 2018.
