The Community Learning Exchange Grant

The Community Learning Exchange offers small pots of funding to support local community groups connect and share peer learning across Scotland. The fund offers small pots of money to build levels of mutual support across the Community Sector through peer to peer learning- the best way to test and develop new ideas is to learn from people already on the journey themselves!

The best way to apply is to think about your learning journey and who to visit – you will be able to access support to make an application through ECCAN and SCCAN.

Virtual – Up to £200 to cover the time it takes to plan and deliver your online exchange.

In person – The programme funds individual and group visits up to £1,000 per exchange, including a fee for the host organisation you’d like to visit.
