HOW TO APPLY

The Beatrice Caithness Local Community Fund is now at the end of its lifetime plan. However, with a small amount of residual funding remaining in the Tannach and District community council area and the Latheron, Lybster and Clyth community council area, an additional application round is now being held.

The closing date for this final application round is 30 June 2023 with an advisory panel scheduled to meet on 17 August 2023 to consider the applications received.

Applications for this round must directly benefit the Tannach and District Community Council area and the Latheron, Lybster and Clyth community council area.

Applicants are encouraged to contact the Fund Manager to gain an understanding of the remaining residual balances for each local area to enable applicants to form a suitable approach.
