Moray Council - Poverty & Social Inclusion Fund

Moray Council is issuing a call for a Challenge Fund to take forward projects in the Moray area for a Poverty & Social Inclusion strategy.

Up to £500,000 of European Social Funds are available for this purpose.

Applications are welcomed from organisations to use some of that funding for projects which fit the criteria and fit with local Moray strategies and other national priorities. Operations are to end by 31 March 2023.

The aim of the funding is to take forward the Poverty & Social Inclusion aspects of the Moray 2026 10 year plan and the relevant criteria of the European Social Fund Operational Programme. Your project must contribute to the output targets.

In addition, your project must fit with at least one of the following European Social Fund Operational Programme criteria:

1. Increase the financial capacity of the most disadvantaged.
2. Increase the number of disadvantaged participants from workless, lone parent and low income households with positive employment or training outcomes.
3. Enable disadvantaged communities to develop long-term solutions to increase active inclusion and reduce poverty.

Applications must be submitted by Friday 27 August. For more information and to apply, visit the Moray Council website.
