- Only one application each financial year from an individual, group or organisation will normally be considered.
- That a confidential report is submitted to the Board of Management by the Chief Executive with recommendations.

At a recent Board of Management meeting held on the 14th May 2020, it was agreed to temporarily freeze our MOCBP Fund, given the Covid-19 pandemic.
The fund will reopen once the Scottish Government lift the restrictions on the lockdown and our staff are back at work in our offices.
Once the Making Our Communities Better Places Fund has reopened, we will contact all applicants who have had their funding application frozen.
