CALA Homes (West) has launched a £15,000 community bursary initiative in a bid to help charities and organisations across the West of Scotland.

The homebuilder is inviting charities, community groups and organisations to apply for a share of the bursary. The fund will help fund a project which makes a vital difference in and around the local community.

The fund has been split into three regions with Lanarkshire, Glasgow and East Dunbartonshire each receiving a £5,000 allocation from the total funds.

For further information and to download an application form please visit www.cala.co.uk/bursary or request an application form by emailing west.bursary@cala.co.uk. All applications must be submitted by June 9.

Applicants must state the amount they would like to secure and what the money will be used for to be in with a chance of receiving funding. Applications will be judged by a panel from CALA Homes (West) and a local representative.

Successful applicants will be announced from July 2017 onwards.

Liana Canavan, sales and marketing director for CALA Homes (West), said: “We strongly believe that we are not just building houses, we are building homes that belong to a wider community and it is our intention through the launch of the community bursary that we can help make a difference in some of the key areas in which we are currently developing.

“The £15,000 fund has the opportunity to help lots of local organisations and charities do good within the community so we are looking forward to helping as many as we can throughout the coming months.

“We would like to welcome all charities, groups and organisations in the areas that could benefit from our assistance to complete the application form by 9th June.”
