Dear All
The purpose of electing someone to public office is so that they can make a difference to the people they represent.
Bob Doris is an SNP MSP for Glasgow, he is currently highlighting to Glaswegians to take the opportunity to improve their community through cash from the Voluntary Action Fund.
With cuts being the order of the day by Steven ‘bin laden’ Purcell and the Labour Council of shame, Bob Doris is being pro active for the whole community.Voluntary Action Fund is a great way of providing funding for programmes so grass roots community organisations.
Their aims are to promote inclusion of those most excluded within their communities.
Bob Doris is encouraging people and organisations to get applications in from small community and not-for-profit groups so they can get grants up to £1,000 to fund general activities or a specific project.
If you don’t ask you don’t get.
So, if you are running a small group to help others, don’t be shy, get an application in and apply.
The Voluntary Action Fund is especially keen to hear from all groups who work with disability or health related issues, provide childcare or whose beneficiaries face exclusion due to their ethnicity, disability gender or sexual orientation.

Bob Doris said;
“The Voluntary Action Fund will encourage people to become involved in their community and provides the resources for effective and beneficial change. I am happy to see a group continuing such a long tradition of contribution and I believe that they will continue to make a significant difference in communities across Scotland, so long as people realise the possibilities and work hard to achieve them”.
The deadline for applications this year is 31st December so don’t hang about, get the paperwork moving, get it checked and get it in.

Chris Smith, Community Chest Grants Officer said;
“Sometimes a small amount of cash can go a long way and I would encourage community organisations that provide valuable projects at the most local level to apply. Whether you’re involved with a community music project, a local sports group or work with youngsters that are often socially excluded this fund could be for you. Whatever your activity, if you help tackle social exclusion the ‘Community Chest’ cash could make a big difference”.
People offering free money seems like a dream and the best bit, every grant makes a real difference to those who receive the help.
Well done, Bob Doris for being pro active; now go find other schemes and let the troops know so they can claim for more cash.
