During the course of our 2020-30 strategy, we're providing at least £200 million in funding to third sector organisations that help people and communities in Scotland living with poverty and trauma.
Our Themes
Running through our objectives are our thematic priorities which define how we will contribute to change. These are Education Pathways, Financial Security, Work Pathways and Nurturing Relationships.
What we do
We are here to prevent and reduce poverty and trauma in Scotland, by funding, supporting, and influencing solutions to drive social change
