Additional contacts
The following teams and organisations provide additional support.
Community Investment Team
Our aim is to maximise the external investment brought into Fife and to ensure that local groups can make a success of their projects. We also coordinate support and monitor all the funding given by us to voluntary organisations to ensure best value.
How our team can help you:
- by receiving project briefs and advising what is the most appropriate funding source
- by commenting on draft applications and suggesting improvements
- by giving examples of projects that have been funded elsewhere in Scotland
- by providing contacts in other councils and countries if necessary for funding
- by arranging information briefings for organisations in your area
- by promoting community empowerment, including asset transfer
- by providing information about community planning and the Plan for Fife (including local community planning and local place plans)
However, we cannot write your applications for you.
