| Funding Description |
Transport Scotland and First ScotRail have announced that the Stations Community Regeneration Fund (SCRF) has re-opened for applications. The scheme was launched in 2009 to make use of disused railway station. The SCRF will fund projects where passengers will benefit from improved facilities at stations, redundant buildings will be brought back into use, and new opportunities for job creation and community involvement will be opened up. The last funding round resulted in funding for 2 successful applications. These were a continental style cafe at Inverurie Station and a Model Railway Clubhouse / Community Hub at Fort Matilda station. The total budget for the Fund is capped at £1 million, but there is no upper limit for individual schemes. The minimum grants that organisations can apply for is £5,000. Grants can be used to; carry out structural repairs to building not covered under the Network Rail/Train Operating Company lease agreement; meet up to 50% of fit-out costs of the building for its intended use. |
