Scotland's local post offices, arguably an important part of any sustainable community, are now able to apply for support from the Scottish Government's new one million pounds Challenge Fund.  The aim of the scheme is to help local post offices diversify with new business activities and become increasingly economically viable. Post Offices are able to apply for capital and revenue grants ranging from £5,000 to £25,000.

The priority of the Fund  is to direct funding to help SubPostmasters develop their enterprise, identifying opportunities for new revenue streams such as retailing, selling different goods, or providing a business service not already available in their locality.

The closing date for applications is noon on the 30th September 2010.
