The Corra Foundation has announced that it will be launching a new fund to support the human rights sector in Scotland.

The Independent Human Rights Fund for Scotland will help realise and defend rights, and tackle issues affecting people’s daily lives.

The Fund will focus on people whose rights are most at risk, such as those facing issues around:

• poverty
• housing
• education
• health
• racism
• disability

The funding is intended to:

• help organisations to close the gap between policy and practice, and the lived experience of people whose rights are most at risk
• help unlock the power of people, communities and organisations to name and claim their rights and hold duty bearers to account
• create conditions for a strong human rights sector

Further information will be made available when the fund opens for applications in June 2024.
