Grants are now being offered to help tackle the climate emergency throughout Argyll and Bute.

Argyll and Bute Climate Action Network (ABCAN) have opened applications for seed grants to community groups wanting to make a difference to the planet.

The grants of up to £500 will support "innovative projects" such as raising awareness, creating a sustainable future for all, or encouraging solutions.

Applications opened on July 29 and must be submitted by August 18.

Organisers said: "Community councils, trusts, organisations, charities, and Community Interest Companies (CICs) in Argyll and Bute are encouraged to apply. Together, we can work towards a net zero future for our beautiful region.

"Don’t miss this chance to secure funding for your climate action project."

Funding is from the Scottish Government to assist ACT, Argyll and Bute Third Sector Interface and Time for Change Argyll and Bute on the projects.
