The Fairer Aberdeen Fund is allocated by Aberdeen City Council and managed by the Fairer Aberdeen Board. The purpose of the Fund is to tackle poverty and deprivation. The Fund focuses on priority neighbourhoods that fall within the 0-20% most deprived in Scotland, as well as supporting vulnerable groups across the City.

The Fund will be open for applications from the 9th December 2024. Your application should demonstrate how your project will contribute to the Local Outcome Improvement Plan and Locality Plans, and target one or more of the priority neighbourhoods and/or one or more of the vulnerable groups. If your project does not contribute to any of the priority outcomes and target priority areas or groups, it will not be considered for funding.

Priority areas: Cummings Park, Heathryfold Middlefield, Northfield, Mastrick, Seaton, Tillydrone, Woodside, Ashgrove, George Street, Stockethill, Torry and Kincorth

Priority Groups: People who are affected by poverty (low income households or living in the most deprived areas), lone parents and families with children, people with a disability, minority ethnic households, unemployed people, and minority groups who are affected by poverty.

APPLICATION FORMS WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM 9th DECEMBER 2024

Closing date 24th January 2025
