• Optimise Available Funding: Attract new partners and increase the size of the pot.
What makes a good project
o Trusting relationships and continuity of staffing.
o Flexibility and addressing presenting needs helps with therapeutic interventions.
o Change doesn’t happen in isolation there needs to be a connection to the local landscape and other local partners (both statutory and other voluntary groups).
o Experiences from other parts of Scotland – no need to reinvent – we need to learn from what we know on what works and what hasn’t
o Capacity building – 3 day evaluation training programme understanding how to measure the difference you make can help strength projects
o Enables more to be achieved - we have awarded excess of £20m 50% matched funding equates to £40m throughout Scotland
Adding value
o Opportunity to work collaboratively – promoted and supported partnership models across Scotland
