Investing in Communities Renfrewshire Webinar
The Invest in Renfrewshire Communities Team host monthly webinars on External Funding Support available for Renfrewshire third sector groups.

The webinar will help assist constituted third sector groups to clearly demonstrate their economic and social benefit, evidence longer term sustainability as well as articulate the impact their proposed projects will have. In addition to this, our Funded Work Placement Programme Co-ordinator will provide an update on the programme which is now running until the end of September 2022.

Local Partnerships 2022/23 – Application deadline extension
We have extended our deadline for Local Partnership grant funding applications
You now have more time to apply! You can find all the important information here, including the application form, guidance notes, and the Local Priorities for each Local Partnership area. The new closing date for applications is midnight on Monday 18th April 2022.
Our application form has changed – you now apply using an online form
This year the application form is an interactive online form, rather than an e-mail or paper submission. The questions we ask and the information we need from you is still the same – but we’ve changed how we collect this information. We’ve attached guidance to this e-mail to help you write and submit your application, so please take the time to read this.
If you have any difficulties completing the online form, or have questions about your application, please get in touch with the community planning team for help. You can email us at communityplanning@renfrewshire.gov.uk or phone 07483 393597 / 07483 348998.

Generations Working Together - Global Intergenerational Week
As we are in the final stretch of the planning for the Global Intergenerational Week, we ask you to support us by uploading your organisation name and logo on to our supporter’s page, by posting about the week with the hashtag #IntergenerationalWeek and by organising a celebration (whether that is online or in a covid safe way) during the week itself.
It will take place from Monday 25th of April and end on Sunday 1st of May. Please use our resources, research and more from our resources page. If you have any questions or ideas, you would like to talk through please let us know.
As we emerge from the pandemic now more than ever it’s vital that we develop and celebrate relationships between generations to rebuild our communities, reduce isolation and loneliness, improve health and mental wellbeing and to reduce ageism. Let’s fight for a society where nobody feels too young or too old. Let’s fight ageism together. Let’s fight for intergenerational connections.
Relationships and Sexual Health - Online good practice toolkit
Work has started to develop an online toolkit for carers, families and staff who support care experienced children and young people
Who Cares? Scotland have been commissioned to manage the process of involving young people throughout the development of the resource. They are now recruiting young care experienced people from across NHS GG&C. Your help in sharing this opportunity with a diverse range of young people would be greatly appreciated.
Please find a briefing paper for colleagues and an information sheet for young people who might be interested in getting involved attached.
