Funding help for charities

Local charities are being offered the chance to talk funding with Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland.

An advice surgery will be held on December 10 and the foundation is particularly keen to hear from charities working in Edinburgh and the surrounding areas which benefit disadvantaged people and are looking for funding.

Foundation staff will give tips on filling in the application form and advice on the kind of projects that may be funded. One-to-one appointments with a member of staff are available at the foundation’s office on Gorgie Road.
