02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

The Strathleven Foundation was established in 2023 by Strathleven Regeneration CIC to inherit funds generated from the sale of SRCIC's land assets in the Lomondgate area of Dumbarton. The Foundation has awarded grants in this time from these inherited funds and specifically for those Organisation's which have applied for projects which fulfil the Foundations priorities. We opened our initial funding with our Helping Hand Fund aimed at local charities and community groups in our Area of Benefit -- awarding £57,672 over a one year period to 35 successful applicants. Running alongside this we worked with our local council and a consultant to develop digital technology for a children's library within a renovated building in Dumbarton High Street - almost £200,000. Going forward the Trustees have decided to concentrate most of our remaining funding toward one large inspirational project yet to be confirmed.
