The Common Good Fund for 2022/23 is to be used to support organisations who deliver services for the common good of the City. This year there will continue to be a particular focus on organisations supporting people who are in need.
Last year, the Common Good Fund contributed to 23 causes in the city including Feeling Strong, Dundee Carers Centre and Alexanders Community Development. It is anticipated that awards made in the coming year will generally be in the range of £3,000 to £10,000.
Bodies applying for an Award must be free of any political bias and must not use the Award to fund activities involving Political Campaigning.
Whilst supporting blood donations, and the Festival of Remembrance, the fund will not otherwise meet recurring expenditure and so applications should be one-off in nature and repeat applications will not be considered.

Dundee City Council
Dundee draws skilled workers from a 60-minute catchment population of 640,000 and has a local population of over 140,000. The availability of a large pool of highly skilled labour is a key feature in the Dundee economy. Flexibility in the labour force is currently more prevalent in Dundee than in Scotland as a whole. All forms of labour market flexibility - part-time, temporary employment, self-employment and shift work - are widely operational within the city. Labour force stability in the city is excellent, enabling companies to plan with confidence. Labour turnover levels are less than 5% and absenteeism averages 2%.
