Round two of the ‘Healthy Planet, Healthy People’: Change Awards opens on the 2nd September 2026. The Change Award is designed to support community-led projects in Scotland. Funding will be provided to support groups that have previously received funding from the ‘Healthy Planet, Healthy People’: Catalyst Awards scheme. A key consideration is ensuring that Change Award funding builds upon but remains distinct from the initial Catalyst Award funding, supporting projects that have evolved beyond their original scope. New but related projects will also be considered.

Change Award funding will prioritise projects demonstrating a measurable impact and the potential for sustainable outcomes. Projects must promote the health of individuals through fostering healthy environments or communities, or enabling access to healthy foods. The Williamson Trust is looking to fund projects led by community-based individuals or organisations, who would receive an award amount of either £25,000 or £75,000 depending on the scale of the project to conduct a project for up to 24 months.

The Change Awards have a deadline of 12:00 noon on Tuesday, 1 December 2026
