Inspiring Scotland’s Annual Report 22/23 provides an overview of the work undertaken to deliver on strategic priorities and mission to improve the lives of people across Scotland.
In the period we supported over 700 organisations across 16 funding programmes worth over £50m. As well as new funding opportunities being created, nine of programmes provided vital long term funding to organisations, offering five years or more of investment.
Through each of these programmes we bring vital financial support combined with a package of additional support which starts with our team and extends to a whole range of professional expertise delivered through our Specialist Volunteer Network. These additional benefits, which are central to Inspiring Scotland’s approach, bring an array of skills, experience and knowledge to our charity partners, strengthening governance for example, through training and recruitment of board members. The sector tells us that this wrap around support is needed now more than ever.
The Healthy Islands Fund was £1.3 million investment from the Scottish Government to improve and promote health, social care, and wellbeing for those living in Scottish island communities. The fund was delivered by Inspiring Scotland and supported 59 projects.
