Tayside Contracts Community Fund  

Tayside Contracts is proud to work alongside local communities, and we have set up a Community Fund (with generous Community Benefit Funding from Brakes Scotland, one of our main suppliers) where we can give free services, we specialise in.  

Tayside Contracts is a shared service owned by Angus Council, Dundee City Council and Perth & Kinross Council.   We are the largest civil engineering construction organisation in Tayside - carrying out £42 million of road repairs, maintenance and construction, winter maintenance, and street lighting improvements each year.    

If you are a charity or a constituted community group, and you think we could provide a service to you, then you may want to consider our Community Fund. We do the work for you, and the Community Fund picks up the cost up to the maximum of £3,000.  

Some of the things we could do for local communities include:

  • Carrying out roads/footway improvements and repairs to community facilities such as community hall car parks, or a local pathway
  • Digging trenches for rural community broadband schemes  
  • Providing food or catering for a community/charity event
  • Provision of signage via our Sign Shop for a range of community needs
  • Provision of Traffic Management for a community event. 

 

Applicants are able to put submissions into more than one portal.  If your group is successful at securing support through another partner, please let us know so that we can keep the wishes requested updated.
