VAF are also keen to fund groups who meet any of the following criteria; are based in West Dunbartonshire, South Lanarkshire or North Ayrshire; work with disability or health related issues; whose beneficiaries might be disadvantaged through their ethnicity, disability, gender or sexual orientation; and provide childcare.
