Halkirk District Benefit Fund - Individual

The Halkirk District Benefit Fund provides grants to individuals residing in the Halkirk District Community Council area to participate in recreational activities and personal development experiences. The fund advances community development by supporting residents to identify and explore their own needs and take practical action to address those needs. Grants of up to £1,500 are available to people aged 18 and under, while grants of up to £500 are available to those aged 19 and over. Recipients can use funding for sports, arts, heritage, cultural or science activities, educational classes, or other activities that benefit mental or physical health or promote social interaction and inclusion. In order to maximize community benefit, grant recipients must share their experiences with others through mentorship, training, local club involvement, or other means that benefit the wider community. Recipients are expected to attend the HDBF Annual General Meeting to share their experiences.
