Home About Us Our Work Grants The Area Learning Zone Community

This Grants Scheme was started seven years ago under the Moray Firth LIFE Project. It is designed to help in a very practical way to take forward integrated coastal zone management at the local, community level and to encourage involvement by all sectors of the community. 

Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) has supported this Scheme from the start, and has awarded a further £10,000 to help fund its work through the 2008 scheme.  Further funding this year from BG Group has again allowed us to extend the Scheme.

The MFP Community Grant scheme is aimed at local, not for profit groups such as community associations, youth groups, heritage and interest groups. Projects must relate to the management, interpretation, enjoyment or improvement of the Moray Firth and its natural environment, be of clear benefit to the local area and contribute to the local quality of life. 

In 2007 sixteen projects received a total of £15,000 from the Partnership.  For further information go to the Community Grant Scheme 2007 page. 

 

The projects awarded funding under the 2007 Scheme were completed by the end of January 2008.  We will show you some of the results after the final reports have been submitted. Watch this space! 

 

 

The East Grampian Coastal Partnership (EGCP) was set up in 2005 to aid the delivery of Integrated Coastal Zone Management on the East Grampian Coast. The EGCP is currently operating a Community Grant Scheme which offers grants of up to £1000 to non profit groups to improve the coast in their area from Kinnaird Head, Fraserburgh to the mouth of the River North Esk, St. Cyrus. Any project which will improve or benefit the coast will be considered for funding.  Previous successful projects include a local seafood recipe book, improved life guard provision, interpretation and funding towards harbour days.
