Celebrating Community Solutions Event

Throughout the last year the Community Solutions Programme has funded over 201 projects between: 

• Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund Phase 4 
• Children, Young People and Families Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund    Phase 5 
• Community Solutions Thematic Funding  
• Local Activity Funding (across 6 Locality Consortia) 

VANL would like to showcase the incredible work these projects have delivered and as a result, we would like to invite you to the Celebrating Community Solutions Event on Tuesday 30th September 2025.   The event will take the form of a “drop in and meet the funded projects” event. This will allow the projects to showcase how their money was spent and to highlight the breadth of funded activities across North Lanarkshire. We would love to see you at this event, so please come along to see the incredible work that has been funded and meet the key people and organisations involved.   Several funders will also be on hand at the event to promote their individual funds and the associated application criteria, in addition to VANL staff being there to talk about their services.

This list includes:  

• SCVO 
• Creative Scotland 
• LT Funding 
• National Lottery 
• North Lanarkshire Disability Forum  
• VANL Volunteering Support 
• VANL Evaluation Support 
• VANL Funding Support 
• VANL Social Enterprise Support 

The event will run from 9:30am until 12pm in the YMCA Bellshill and Mossend building (294 Main Street, Bellshill ML4 1AB).
