Grant News
The Scottish Government is making funding available to establish a single, national partnership of voluntary sector organisations to provide through care support to people leaving prison after a short sentence or a period on remand.
Applications are sought from groups of at least five organisations working collaboratively to deliver services that support people to resettle into the community after release.
This could include:
- finding a home
- providing opportunities for work
- improved health and well-being or mentoring
The partnership will be responsible for providing the service across all of Scotland, including to remote, rural and island areas.
The total amount of funding available annually to support the partnership will be £5,300,000.
The Scottish Government intends to fund the successful partnership for an initial period of 3 years, with the potential to extend to 5 years.
Applications for the Voluntary Throughcare Grant Fund, administered by Community Justice Scotland, close at 3pm on the 9th July 2024.
