Cramond Brig on The Almond near Edinburgh

The Rivers for All project is intended to support organisations and communities seeking assistance with their own projects.

They should also meet RiverLife: Almond & Avon’s objectives of improving rivers and river corridors for the benefit of the community and reconnecting communities and wildlife with their local rivers.

The fund is open to groups from the public, private, voluntary and community sectors from within the RiverLife: Almond & Avon project area.

But the deadline for applications in this round is the end of October.

To qualify, projects must fulfil one or more of the essential criteria which include improving the understanding of the natural heritage along river, restoring, managing and surveying river habitats and actively involving people in caring for their river.
