The Growth Pot Fund is a local funding opportunity facilitated by the partnership of:

• North Lanarkshire Disability Forum (NLDF)
• Lanarkshire Links (LL)
• Voice of Experience Forum (VoEF)

It supports Engagement and Participation activities across North Lanarkshire. All projects must align with at least one of the Health & Social Care North Lanarkshire (HSCNL) Engagement and Participation Outcomes.

This fund is open to: 

• Charities, community groups and associations based in North Lanarkshire 
• Organisations with an annual income under £75,000 
• Groups that hold a bank account in the name of the organisation 
• Groups that have a governing document (i.e. a Constitution or Terms of Reference)

We especially encourage applications from under-represented communities, including ethnic minorities, New Scots, and LGBTQ+ groups.

Funding of £500 – £5,000 is available to support local initiatives and activities that enhance community engagement and participation. 

You can apply for projects or activities that: 

• Encourage local engagement and involvement 
• Promote awareness of services 
• Improve participation in community life
