Community-led projects give everyone the opportunity to socialize and take part in regular enjoyable and meaningful activities. Many of these projects and services are volunteer-led and begin with someone identifying a need in their own community and deciding to act.
You don’t need to do anything differently to access support from these projects, but the community-led approach means that support will be more easily accessible to you in your local area.
Support for Organisations
The Partnership has created a range of resources to help community-led groups and organisations set up a project, apply for funding, and evaluate their impact. If you require a paper copy of these materials, please contact integration@falkirk.gov.uk.

Community Choices is the name of Falkirk’s participatory budgeting programme, run by Falkirk Council and Falkirk Health and Social Care Partnership, investing £3m in local communities.
Through a public vote, participatory budgeting offers a democratic way for residents to have a direct say in how public money can be used to address their priorities and invest in local, community led projects.
