The Islands Cost Crisis Emergency Fund (ICCEF) 2025/26 which is administered by the Orkney Community Planning Partnership is now open for applications. With £214,000 allocated to Orkney by the Scottish Government’s Islands team, the fund will provide immediate support to individuals, families, and communities most affected by the ongoing cost of living crisis, with a strong focus on tackling child poverty.

Key Criteria

Organisations across Orkney are invited to submit proposals for projects that will deliver direct support to those in need. Grants will typically be under £25,000, although exceptional proposals may be considered for larger awards.
