HIGHLAND COMMUNITY AWARDS
Formerly known as our COMMUNITY GRANT AWARDS SCHEME
The community we live and work in is important to us.
We recognised that there was a huge amount of charity and community work happening across the area and so we launched our Community Grant Scheme in 2015 to try and help. We will be relaunching as soon as circumstances allow as the “Highland Community Awards” and further details of how to apply will follow as soon as possible.
Our Highland Community Awards are aimed at helping to support local communities across the Highlands and Islands, and is open to all local groups, charities and organisations.
Our 2018 / 19 Winners
Every year we will issue a minimum of five “Mini Mac” Awards of £500 each and one “Mighty Mac” Award of £1,000.
In its first year we received 116 applications with that figure doubling in 2016 to over 250 applications and subsequent years numbers have remained high. The successful winners were:
