The funding supports organisations with a strong understanding of local needs and a proven track record of delivering positive outcomes in their communities.
Applications close at midnight on Sunday 18 October 2026, with funding decisions due to be announced in December 2026.

The Large Grants Programme has played an important role in supporting communities across Midlothian.
Since 2022, the programme has funded 28 projects through a total investment of £2.6 million. This has helped organisations respond to local needs, develop new initiatives and expand existing services that have collectively supported thousands of residents.
