A number of CEIS client organisations, including FARE Scotland, New Tannahill Centre and Community Transport Glasgow, have secured funding from Scottish Government’s Supporting Communities Fund to support their communities’ response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The communities supported by these and another 250 organisations are amongst the first to benefit from Scottish Government’s £350m package of support to address the social and economic impact of COVID-19. These funds include the £40m Supporting Communities Fund, which has been established with an initial £10 investment targeted at eligible community anchor organisations that are playing an active role in providing vital local services. A further allocation of £10 million has been approved to support the second phase of the fund.
