No One Left Behind | Small Grant Applications | Now Open
Stirling Council and Stirlingshire Voluntary Enterprise are welcoming small grant applications of up to £6,000 from organisations delivering employability opportunities in the Stirlingshire area.
The grant limit is £5,000 per application, with a possible further £1,000 available to support parents with transport costs to attend.
Applications are open to organisations that can provide employability support services to the priority groups, communities and locations as detailed in Stirling’s Local Employability Delivery Plan but are not currently registered on the Employability Framework with Public Contracts Scotland (PCS).
Organisations applying do not need to have employability as their sole focus, but the application does have to clearly outline how the project supports individuals on their employability journey.
This fund is open to all public, private and third sector organisations delivering within the Stirling Council area not currently registered with the Employability Framework on PCS. Organisations who are registered on PCS as a partner, where another provider is the lead organisation may also apply.
For more information on the eligibility criteria and how to apply, please refer to the NOLB Grants Guidance which you can find here.
If you are applying for funding to cover transport costs for parents to attend, please read the Scottish Government’s guidance on this, also attached, to ensure your application meets the criteria.
You can complete the on-line form here.
Please note: Applications received without the required supporting documents cannot be considered. As Microsoft Forms does not allow files to be uploaded when you submit your application, you will need to send your supporting documents by email. Please email these to janet@sventerprise.org.uk AND matty@sventerprise.org.uk.
If you are unable to complete the application form electronically and need a Word version, please contact Janet or Matty and we will email this out to you.
The deadline to submit NOLB small grant applications is 5pm on Friday 11 September 2026.
