What we do

FiSCAF – Faiths in Scotland Community Action Fund works with local faith groups, building hope by providing grants and support in the struggle against poverty in Scotland’s most fragile urban and rural communities.

Faith and people matter and we want our support to make the following differences:

¨ Faith groups are more effective in supporting people to make transitions in their lives

¨ Faith groups are more effective in helping to reduce isolation and loneliness

¨ Faith groups are more effective in supporting local people to become more resilient

¨ There is greater understanding and respect between and within faith communities

¨ Local people have increased self-esteem, confidence and skills, equipping them to improve community life

¨ Government and civic society have increased understanding about the positive contribution made by faith groups in tackling poverty

We are committed to listening to and learning from the faith communities we work with as we establish and review this new grant and support programme so that the skills and knowledge of everyone involved are continually developing.
