Community groups and small businesses in the county are being encouraged to browse the range of funding opportunities through Orkney Islands Council’s website.

The council has a subscription to GRANTnet, a national grants website which includes a searchable database with access to more than 4,000 grants, loans and other initiatives.

Access to GRANTnet is free and available on the council’s website at www.orkney.gov.uk — and follow the link to “Council Grants” under the “One Step Away” menu on the homepage.

The website is designed to help community and voluntary groups, clubs, schools, social enterprises and small businesses find suitable funding, from European funds through to opportunities from government departments, local authorities, lottery awards, charitable trusts and corporate sponsors.
