Application review

-

Thank you to everyone who has submitted an application!

All applications are checked by volunteer community reviewers, who read all applications to ensure they meet the relevant 'Essential Criteria' and 'What We Will Not Fund'. Any applications that don't meet the criteria will not progress to the vote. 

We may contact you during this period to confirm information or ask for additional information, so please keep checking your inbox (and junk/spam folders!) just in case. 

All applicants will be notified via email once the status of their application has been confirmed. 

Cast your votes!

How to vote

  • Select the locality (the area) that you live or work in below. You will only be able to vote in one area, so make sure you click on the right one!
  • Each locality has a funding pot allocated based on population. Your vote will determine how this funding is distributed between the projects in your area.
  • Review all of the projects in your area to decide which three you would most like to see funded.
  • To cast your vote, select your favourite three projects from the list in your locality and click 'Submit Ballot'.

Reviewing voting

-

Thank you to everyone who has voted online and in libraries for the projects that matter to you!

Voting has now closed, and we are compiling the results. We expect to announce the results the week of the 22nd November, so check back soon for some exciting updates!

Results

-

Once the results are in, we will announce them here: come back in November!

Find out more about participatory budgeting

Participatory Budgeting (PB) is a democratic process that gives local people the power to decide how public sector money is spent. This can be by deciding on how grants are distributed; having a say in how services work in an area; and ultimately influencing decisions at a local authority level by voting on projects that communities would like to see happen in their local area. You can find out more about PB in Scotland here: https://pbscotland.scot/
