Highland Third Sector Interface (HTSI) is an independent charity on a mission to support, encourage and inspire work with community groups, clubs, charities and other Third Sector Organisations throughout Highland.
Community Link Worker Fund now open
Courtesy of NHS Highland, third sector organisations are invited to apply for up to £10,000 to be spent between 2025 and 2027, to increase their capacity to accept referrals from Community Link Workers, or to create new activities for referral.
Social prescribing focuses on improving health outcomes for people experiencing stressors in their lives due to social issues. GPs refer patients to Community Link Workers, who take a person-centred approach to each referral. This fund aims to offer grants to third sector groups so they can accept (increased) referrals from CLWs for community-based activities.
Community-led Local Development Fund now open
We are pleased to be working in partnership with Highland and Islands Climate Hub to deliver the
Community-led Local Development Fund on behalf of The Highland Council Community Regeneration Fund.
We will be offering small grants of up to £10,000 to support the development of Enterprising and Growing Communities, and Inclusive and Engaged Communities, while the Hub will offer grants of the same nature to support the themes of Sustainable Communities and Resilient Communities.
The funds are open for applications from Tuesday 8th April, and close on Friday 30th May at 4pm.
