£4.5 million has already been awarded to 181 projects across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray - now it’s your turn to make a difference

The Scottish Government’s Just Transition Participatory Budgeting (PB) Fund is back for a fifth year, giving communities across the North East and Moray a leading role in the journey to net zero.

With £1 million available once again, the Fund supports bold, community led ideas that make a real difference. Community groups and third sector organisations across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray can apply for up to £50,000 to deliver an eco-friendly project in their area.

From installing solar panels and battery storage to introducing electric vehicles, improving energy efficiency in community buildings and protecting local environments, the Fund backs practical capital projects that reflect what matters most to local people. Residents will once again have the final say, voting for the projects they want to see funded.

Delivered by ACVO TSI, AVA, tsiMORAY, NESCAN Hub and Money for Moray, the Fund brings partners together once again to support communities across the region. We will be engaging with communities to help you take part in the transition to net zero, sharing ideas and providing project development support and application assistance.

Get involved, share your ideas, and help shape a greener future for the North East of Scotland.
