The Scottish Government - Whole Family Support Third Sector Delivery Fund

Details

The Whole Family Support Third Sector Delivery Fund is a fund for charities to deliver help that is tailored to the specific needs of families living in poverty or at risk of poverty. This will help them connect with the services and support in their communities that can make a difference.

This fund helps third sector organisations support families living in poverty or at risk of poverty. It will do this by boosting their capacity to deliver Whole Family Support in communities across Scotland. It contributes to Scottish Government's goal of ending child poverty in Scotland.

Scot Gov wants to work with:

  • partners who can work nationally, or across multiple local authorities areas, to support families in their communities
  • successful organisations to help ensure that this activity is as joined-up as possible with existing local work to deliver Whole Family Support

Scot Gov expects that funding will continue and move to a multi-year basis from 2027/28, subject to future confirmation.
