Funding Description Big Lottery Fund in Scotland wants to provide groups with an opportunity to spend time and money developing ideas that have a clear public benefit. We have £1 million to invest in the development of new ideas in 2010-11.


So, would you like to start up a new activity for older people in your area? You can find out if people would back it and make it viable. Investing in Ideas could help you carry out a survey and see if there is support for your idea.


Or maybe you want to design and test improved ways of working that will bring real improvements to communities and the lives of people most in need? Investing in Ideas could pay for you to investigate the work of others to inform the development of your idea. It could also support you to pilot your idea to find out if it would work.


Investing in Ideas awards grants of £500 to £10,000 to test and develop ideas that could eventually become fully-fledged projects or lead to improved service delivery. Investing in Ideas could pay for the things that can turn your basic idea into a well-planned project including:

market research
feasibility studies
business planning
training for your committee
exchange visits in the UK to see how other projects work
community consultation
professional advice
technical reports and scheme design studies
Range of amounts £500-£10,000
