New community fund announced by Loch Lomond Shores
West Dunbartonshire community groups set to benefit from £2,500 fund
Loch Lomond Shores has announced it is establishing a new community fund to benefit local groups in Balloch, Alexandria, Dumbarton, Helensburgh, and the surrounding areas within 10 miles of Loch Lomond Shores.
The new fund will launch this year with a £2,500 pot to provide up to £250 in grants to local groups. Groups can apply via the form on this page from Friday 10th July, with applications closing on the 14th of September, and the donation to successful groups issued by 12th October 2026.
Speaking about the new Loch Lomond Shores Community Fund, Audrey Calder from Loch Lomond Shores says:
“We are delighted to launch this fund to help local community groups. Having welcomed many community groups to Loch Lomond Shores over the years, we have always supported them when possible. The creation of this fund means we can do even more to support them by providing them with the opportunity to secure much-needed funds to continue their good work.
“Whether it’s a food bank, dance group, football team, senior club or any organisation that’s local and bringing benefits to the community, we’d love them to apply.
“The only criteria is that they must be within 10 miles of Loch Lomond Shores and be a non-profit group/organisation.”
“Our aim is that the Loch Lomond Shores Community Fund will become an annual way of us giving back to our community going forward.”
Applications will be open from 10th July.
