Inspiring Scotland invites Scottish charities to apply to the Play Strategy Fund.
The fund is looking to invest in charities with innovative play ideas which will help achieve the outcomes of the Play Strategy Action Plan following the launch last year of the Scottish Government’s Play Strategy for Scotland.
Up to £15,000 of Scottish Government funding and development support for turning great ideas into a reality is on offer, along with the opportunity to benefit from access to Inspiring Scotland’s strong portfolio of charities.
According to Celia Tennant, Inspiring Scotland Chief Executive: “Through this small but impactful fund, we are pleased to be able to offer Scottish charities access to funding and support to help introduce new ways children can benefit from play.
“In addition to funding, each charity benefits from being part of a wider portfolio all committed to working together, sharing ideas and resources. Many new ideas are actually incubated within the Go2Play portfolio and helped to grow, which positively impacts on the lives of children.”
Applications should demonstrate how they support at least one of the outcomes listed in the Play Strategy Action Plan. The strategy is focused on the following domains:
• Play in the community
• Play the home
• Play at nursery and school
• Supporting a positive environment for play through its workforce
If you’ve got an idea and would like support to turn it from a concept into a reality, visit the Inspiring Scotland website for ideas of other work funded, the criteria document and application forms. www.inspiringscotland.org.uk
The deadline for applications is the 10th October 2014.
Charities will also be invited to present their application at a friendly Dragon’s Den on 30th October 2014.
