The Whole Family Wellbeing Fund (WFWF) is part of a national programme funded by the Scottish Government to help redesign how families in Scotland are supported. It aims to ensure families receive the right support at the right time, reducing the need for crisis intervention and helping children thrive within their own families.

In Angus, the fund is managed by Angus Council in partnership with Voluntary Action Angus (VAA), and is focused on supporting community-based, innovative, and preventative approaches that reflect local priorities. Funded projects should be collaborative, and inclusive – delivering transformational change and promoting long-term wellbeing.

Funding is now available to support transformational change for families across Angus through the Whole Family Wellbeing Fund (WFWF).

What’s available:

• Small Grants – Up to £25,000 (administered by Voluntary Action Angus)
• Larger Grants – Up to £50,000 (administered by Angus Council)
• Optional £20,000 start-up support available

Who can apply:

Voluntary and community organisations, registered charities, CICs, clubs, not-for-profits, community councils, and statutory services.

Key dates:

• Applications open: 7 July 2025
• Deadline: 22 August 2025

What we’re looking for:

Innovative, collaborative proposals that focus on early intervention, prevention, and reducing crisis. All projects must align with local priorities and The Promise and demonstrate impact for families most in need – including lone parents, larger families, families with young children, disabilities, or from minority ethnic backgrounds.
