Peer-to-peer grants programme
About Dementia and Age Scotland's Peer-to-Peer grants programme is a funding opportunity for people living with dementia and unpaid carers in Scotland. The programme offers grants of between £500 to £10,000 to current or former unpaid carers, or individuals or groups of people living with dementia.
The purpose of these grants is to empower people with dementia and unpaid carers to create their own peer support activities and projects, and to enable ordinary activities that improve the quality of everyday life for people living with dementia and unpaid carers. These could be resources, community groups, research, pilot projects, or creative activities.
The Peer-to-Peer Grants Programme is an excellent opportunity for people living with dementia, unpaid carers or supporters to apply for funding to develop projects and similar tasks to enhance their health and wellbeing.

Our Peer-to-Peer Grants Programme is now open for funding to attend conferences and events within Scotland or internationally!
This funding programme is for people living with dementia and unpaid carers of people with dementia living in Scotland.
Taking part in events and conferences can be a great way to make sure that your voice is being heard. These events could be big or small, and could cover a number of different topics depending on your interests. They could involve a variety of communities and organisations, such as professionals in the third sector, artists, policy makers, or international organisations.
You can apply to this funding to attend conferences and events as a guest, a speaker, or any other form of participant. You can apply as an individual or a group for grants up to £3,000.
We will close this programme once its funds have been exhausted, or by March 2025.
