There are seven Local Partnerships which local organisations can apply to which are: Renfrew, Erskine, Inchinnan, Bishopton and Langbank, The Villages, Johnstone and Linwood, Paisley North, West and Central, Paisley East, and Gleniffer. Local Partnerships can award funding to local groups and projects which bring communities together.Each Local Partnership has its own priorities. The partnership will prioritise the awarding of funding based on these priorities and projects they feel will have the most impact for people in their local area. Full details can be found on the Council website.Some examples of projects funded previously include:- improving community facilities such as a building or land to make them better and more accessible for community use- enhancing or creating community gardens to provide attractive spaces for the community- community events that provide opportunities for local people to gather together- projects that help people get out and meet together so they are socially connected in the community and do not feel isolated.

The principles of sustainability and responding to the climate emergency are at the centre of the Trust’s Funding Strategy. The main aim is to utilise contributions from Landfill Operators in order to maximise benefits for communities through environmental projects with a specific emphasis on:- Helping Fife communities rise to the challenge of climate change by supporting projects, which:cut or store greenhouse gas emissions; increase resilience to climate change impacts; and ensure that vulnerable people are not further disadvantaged by climate change and which provide opportunities for all.- Improving the quality of the natural environment within Fife by supporting projects which support biodiversity and a healthy natural environment, and in so doing, recognising that nature-based solutions have multiple benefits.- Improving quality of life for communities by safeguarding and supporting improvements to the built and natural environment, including local generation of sustainable heat and power.- Supporting community led urban and rural regeneration schemes that encompass social inclusion, and which foster community capacity building and involvement in local decision making.

Project Viability Grants (PVG) are to fund studies to look at potential uses for a building and at its current condition, and produce a Viability Report to a standard template.The primary purpose of the grant is to enable you to work out whether a proposed use for a building will be economically viable. The grant will contribute towards the cost of exploring different options for reuse, or testing a single option.
