Funding Announced

We are pleased to announce that a small grants programme has been set up to support GLGDGG members to undertake activities, events or projects aimed at helping Scotland to become a place where people are more open about death, dying and bereavement.

Specifically, we are looking to fund projects that:

• Help people to find ways of dealing with their own experiences of death, dying and bereavement.
• Help individuals and communities to support those who are experiencing difficult times associated with death, dying and bereavement.
• Support NHS and social care staff and volunteers to work compassionately and constructively with those who are dying or have been recently bereaved.
• Help people to make practical preparations for their death, for example Will, Power of Attorney and Advance Care Planning.
• Promote openness/discussion of death, dying and bereavement.

Member organisations can apply for a maximum grant of £500, and the closing date for applications is Monday 8 April to allow applications to be processed and relevant money distributed in time for Awareness Week. (Applications are also accepted for activities scheduled outside Awareness Week.) We appreciate the timescale is tight and with this in mind the application form is designed to be straightforward to complete.
