A regional commitment
Central Scotland includes varied cities, towns and communities. The Trust’s published information does not set out a narrower boundary, so applicants should explain their geography rather than rely on a broad regional label.
If you are close to the edge of what you understand as Central Scotland, contact the Trust before investing time in a detailed request.
Describe reach honestly
Explain where participants live, where activity takes place and whether the organisation serves a neighbourhood, local authority area or several connected places.
For organisations with a wider footprint, separate the proposed regional work from national totals or general organisational messaging.
Show the local relationship
Useful context may include how the organisation listens, who it works alongside and what makes its approach relevant to the place. Keep claims proportionate and connected to the proposed work.
