CALLING THIRD SECTOR ORGANISATIONS AND SMALLER COMMUNITY GROUPS WORKING ON POVERTY PREVENTION & MITIGATION
The City of Edinburgh Council is developing a new £2.5million per annum grants programme for third sector organisations who are working to prevent and mitigate poverty in Edinburgh.
If you’d like to have a say in shaping the grants programme, you can participate in one of the planned co-design workshops:
– Edinburgh Poverty Network (online only) – 3-5, Tuesday 27th October 2026
– Workshop 2 (in person) – Thistle Foundation, 10-12, Friday 30th October 2026

The Council wants to hear directly from third sector leaders and workers on:
– How this fund should be used?
– Who should be eligible?
– What a good application process looks like?
– What makes for a well-managed grant fund?
