Edge Fund members have finished the lengthy but satisfying process of scoring and reviewing applications. We are pleased to announce that our shortlist for Round 8 has been finalised.

The following groups will be considered for either £1500 or £3,000 at our final funding day in London on Saturday 17th February:

• Friends of Detainees, Disabled People Against Cuts Glasgow, Living Rent Edinburgh, Galway Feminist Collective, Black Triangle Campaign, Smash IPP, Hammersmith and Fulham Coalition Against Cuts, We Will Rise, Glasgow Autonomous Space, Unity Sisters, Hand2Mouth, African Rainbow Family, Disabled Survivors Unite, Leeds Unity Centre, Ubele Initiative.

We held a application workshop last month, in Glasgow’s excellent WestGAP. We supported the members of eight scotland-based groups with their application to our current funding round.

With only a few days left to apply we are getting plenty of questions about when you might expect to hear from us if you are successful. So, the following is the time-line for Round 8, with all the important dates for applicants and our members.
