Year 4 of Just Transitions PB fund launches with another £1m
Year 4 of the Just Transitions PB Fund is now live – groups can apply for up to £50,000 to support eco-friendly projects in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire or Moray. Applications can be submitted until the 29th September 2025.
The Just Transition PB Fund aims to empower residents of Aberdeenshire, Aberdeen and Moray by giving them a crucial role in shaping a just transition to a net zero future in the North East of Scotland.
During the first three years of the fund, £3.5million has been distributed to 144 eco-friendly projects across the region, which are currently making a positive difference within local communities. Once again for 2025, £1million has been made available (£333,333 for each region) to support local grassroots green projects from third sector organisations and community groups in the North East and Moray.
The Fund is an opportunity for communities to put forward projects that match local needs and priorities and will enable a greener region. Residents are then invited to have the final say over which initiatives are funded through a public vote.
ACVO TSI, Aberdeenshire Voluntary Action, tsiMORAY, NESCAN Hub and Money for Moray are working in partnership to deliver the fund. They will be actively engaging with communities in the region to enable everyone play a crucial part in the just transition to net zero on a local level, sharing ideas and providing project development support and application assistance.
Maggie Hepburn, Chief Executive of ACVO TSI, said: “As we enter the fourth year of the Just Transition PB Fund, it’s inspiring to reflect on the cumulative impact this funding is having in supporting local groups to take action and deliver change in their communities. Over the past three years, we’ve seen incredible innovation, creativity and dedication from groups committed to building a greener future and I encourage anyone with an idea, no matter how big or small, to apply. We’re proud to support this process again and look forward to see what emerges in this new round.”
