The application window for 25/26 SPF grants for social enterprises, third sector, community groups and tourism organisations is now live.
The window is open until 5pm on Friday 13th June and all applications will be assessed after the window is shut, so please do not rush your applications.
This year, applications will not be accepted without an Expression Of Interest form being completed first. This is to ensure that projects are ready for the application phase and that organisations are provided with as much support at possible.
If you have recently submitted an EOI form, don’t worry an officer will be in touch with you very soon.
If you haven’t, you can request an expression of interest form by emailing
and an officer will contact you once submitted.
This year, there are three grants available.
Capital Grant
This grant is up to £20k, with applicants needing to provide 20% of the project cost. This grant is to purchase capital items and/or undertake capital works.
Professional Fees Grant
This grant is up to £5k, with applicants needing to provide £20% of the project cost. This grant will cover things such as planning fees, surveys and legal costs.
Tourism Capital Grant
This grant is up to £10k for Tourism business / organisations with applicants needing to provide 20% of the project cost. This grant is to purchase capital items and/or undertake capital works.
Once your EOI is submitted, you have had a discussion with an officer and you are ready to apply, you can request an application form by emailing the same SPF email address and your officer will continue to guide you through the process.
