PLEASE NOTE THIS FUND IS NOW CLOSED FOR APPLICATIONS
Why SURE?
SURE stands for Support. Understand. Recover. Empower and it's what we hope this fund will be all about.
We’re especially keen to hear about ideas that give people the chance to build new skills, try something different, volunteer, or simply connect with others. We’re also interested in creative approaches that engage young people, challenge stigma, and open up positive, honest conversations about alcohol and drugs.
Above all, we want to support activity that reduces harm, supports recovery and wellbeing, values lived and living experience, and helps create safer, stronger and more connected communities for the long term.
Who is supporting this?
Renfrewshire Alcohol and Drug Partnership (ADP) brings together partners to reduce the harms caused by problematic alcohol and drug use.
As part of their ongoing commitment to applying a community led approach the ADP will work in partnership with Engage Renfrewshire to deliver a community grants programme (The SURE Fund) supporting grass root responses to preventing and reducing alcohol and drug related harm in Renfrewshire.
