ArtRoots allows communities to make aesthetic improvements to the National Cycle Network (NCN). Sustrans provides grants towards projects that will enhance spaces, aiming to encourage active travel. ArtRoots empowers communities to plan and deliver what they want and how to make it happen. Sustrans Scotland provides funding for projects, and the ArtRoots officer will support them with advice and help where required. The key point to ArtRoots is that the community manages the project and shapes the outcome. Engaging and delivering locally is essential to a successful project. Communities play a crucial role in encouraging active travel and by making areas more enjoyable or interesting to travel through. The grant can cover services provided by external contractors such as, but not limited to artists, designers, construction workers and engineers. Funding project management fees is possible but assessed on a case-by-case basis by Sustrans Scotland. All projects must be delivered, and grants claimed by 15 March 2026.

Local Energy Scotland - CARES Community Buildings Fund

Currently Closed
The CARES Community Buildings Fund provides grants to help community organisations reduce their building’s energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions. It does this by funding the installation of renewable technologies like heat pumps, battery storage, and solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, as well as some energy efficiency measures.CARES funding can be used to develop your project and install renewable measures in your community building. Examples include:Development costs like building warrants, planning permission and grid connection applicationsInstallation costs: the costs to install the ‘core’ renewable energy measures and the ‘add on’ energy efficiency and energy storage measures. The fund is primarily for renewable measures so the ‘development costs’ and ‘add on’ measures must be a minority part of the total requested costs. The funding will decarbonise existing self-managed community buildings., i.e. you must install at least one of the following:- a heat pump (air source, ground source or water source)- a connection to heat network- solar photovoltaic (PV) panels- solar water heating.In addition to installing a core measure(s), you can also apply for funding to install one or more of the following:- energy storage- insulation- secondary glazing- draught proofing- appropriate energy saving controls that are linked to new installations to ensure they operate efficiently.Add-on measures must be a minority element of the overall funding requested.Approved projects must be completed and all funding claimed by the end of February 2026.
