Created: 20/06/2024Palliative Care Scotland have launched a small grants scheme to support organisations to put on rememberance events in Scotland as part of this year's To Absent Friends festival. (01-07 November 2024.)
Two types of small grants (of up to £300) are available:
The fund aims to support activities that provide opportunities for storytelling and/or remembrance of people who have died. The range of ways in which organisations can participate is wide and varied. In previous years, events have included concerts, poetry nights, craft activities, memory sharing events, storytelling suppers, exhibitions, and much more. They encourage creative and innovative ideas that feel right to local groups and communities.
Some ideas of relevant activities are available in this Guide to Organising an Event

Any organisation with a bank account can apply for a grant. They encourage applications from charities, community groups, care homes, NHS organisations, small businesses, prisons, arts organisations, schools, education institutions, and more.
