Launch of the REDS Fund

Flexible, financial support is now available for REDS members.

The creation of a grant fund which offers quick and easy access to small amounts of financial support for rural businesses was a key motivation behind establishing REDS during the first Coronavirus lockdown in 2020. We are delighted to announce that the REDS Fund is available for our members.

The REDS Fund is a source of flexible, financial support which can only be accessed by REDS member businesses.

100% of REDS monthly membership fees (£10) are contributed to the fund. Our community of rural business owners are building a pot of sustained economic support that can be accessed by their fellow REDS members long into the future.

At this time, REDS members who have not been eligible for any of the COVID-19 Government support schemes and who are facing genuine hardship are welcome to apply. As the Fund grows we will accept applications from all REDS members.

If you are a REDS member and would like to apply in this initial round of grant funding please email us at connect@reds.scot so we can discuss this further with you.
