It works with donors, funders, and local communities to deliver grants, manage place-based and renewable energy community benefit funds, and provide social investment opportunities.

Up to £2,000 of funding is available to support growth and development, such as expanding operations, upgrading equipment, or other business needs that will help increase your revenues. 

The grant is for young people (18-30 years old) in Scotland who are struggling to invest in their business venture and/or keen to take the business to the next level.
