This week's funding freeze we witnessed was not merely a case of bureaucratic confusion—it had real and disruptive consequences for essential programs, creating uncertainty for both service providers and the people who rely on these supports. To help navigate this evolving situation, we have created a timeline of recent events and the current status of key programs, including the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA) program. https://lnkd.in/eaR89cMN

We’ll be awarding bigger and longer grants to empower projects to make lasting change.  With a commitment to equity, we’re funding organisations of all sizes, including smaller groups seeking multi-year support for the first time, and expanding our definition of “community” to include those connected by shared identity or experience.  Read more about our new funding programmes in our blog➡️ https://ow.ly/RUoO50UfZ7R #CommunityAction #FairerLifeChances #NationalLottery #ScotlandFunding
