The multi award winning Financial Planning firm, Affluent Financial Planning, based in  Bridge of Weir has launched a Community Fund to provide funds for local community groups and charities to support them in various projects that will help the people of West Renfrewshire and surrounding areas.

“It is our way of giving back to our local community” explained Carl Melvin, Managing Director of Affluent FP.

There are many groups who do good work locally and Affluent FP is keen to help them. Often smaller charities and community groups struggle for funding and as a result, worthy projects are delayed or shelved completely. The new Community Fund is designed to help these smaller groups, where even modest funding can make a big difference.

The Community Fund is open to all groups in the local area and applications will be reviewed quarterly by the Board of the Community Fund, with awards made throughout the year.

To apply to the Community Fund for an award, applicants should download an application form from www.affluentfp.co.uk/community-fund and return it for consideration.

We are delighted to announce that the first recipient of an award from the Affluent FP Community Fund is Brighter Bridge of Weir – a small band of volunteers who do such a sterling job of keeping the village looking great.
