Community and Third Sector Recovery Programme

The Community & Third Sector Recovery Programme aims to support charities, community groups, social enterprises and voluntary organisations that are supporting people and communities through the shift from lockdown to recovery. As well as providing ongoing crisis support, they will be planning and implementing changes to adapt and thrive in a very different social and economic climate.

The programme has two strands: Adapt & Thrive and Community Recovery Fund. Currently, Fife-based organisations are eligible for Adapt & Thrive alone.

The Adapt and Thrive Programme has been extended into July 2021.

Adapt & Thrive supports organisations to change and recover.

Working with an advisor, organisations will be supported to develop a plan so they can adapt to the challenges presented by COVID-19, operate sustainably, and continue to have a positive impact in their communities. This may mean developing new income streams, restructuring the organisation, or changing how services are delivered. Funding to implement the plan is also available.

The fund will continue to accept applications into July 2021. Check back on the SCVO website for updates on the final closing date.
