Strathmartine Make It Happen Fund

The Strathmartine Make It Happen Fund is run by local people for local people. The aim is to support and encourage local groups, by offering funding to them to support projects and initiatives that create positive change within their communities.

The money comes from the What Matters to You Make It Happen Fund in the Strathmartine ward. We have £30,000 available from this grants programme. The grants are administered by Corra, who are supporting the running of the fund.

The Strathmartine Make It Happen Fund is run by "Strathmartine Makes It Happen",  a group of parents recruited from Strathmartine ward who have designed, developed and are the community voices that make decisions on the funding distributed by What Matters to You via The Corra Foundation.

The fund outcome criteria are those that benefit and include the people of Strathmartine through:

o    Creating a safer and better environment.
o    Improving lives.
o    Enhanced and affordable opportunities.
 

After a succesfull Phase 1 (Full details can be seen at our news page), we were delighted that we are able to deliver a Phase 2 of the Make It Happen Fund for Strathmartine Ward that closed to applications on Friday 27th March 2026.

On Friday 1st May 2026, twenty-three community groups who are set to bring about positive change in their communities were named as worthy recipients of the Strathmartine Make it Happen Fund by What Matters to You (WM2U) at a Celebration event at Downfield Juniors Football Club receiving a total of £30,000.
