National Drugs Mission Funds
The number of drug-related deaths in Scotland is too high. These deaths are tragic and avoidable and reducing them is a priority for all of us.
The Scottish Government has launched the National Drugs Mission Funds to improve lives, backed by significant additional resources, details of which are available here. Corra Foundation will administer funding to support the National Drugs Mission on behalf of The Scottish Government. The funding streams include the Local Support Fund, Local Support Fund Micro Grants, Improvement Fund, and Children and Families Fund.
To check whether your organisation is eligible to apply for these four funds, view our eligibility flowchart here.
Full details of each of the funds is available below. If you would like to discuss any of the funds, please contact wellbeingteam@corra.scot.
About the fund
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Due to high levels of demand, this fund was paused on the 6th March 2023. We are not able to consider applications received after this date.
The Local Support Fund is focused on community-based organisations which deliver frontline services to support people who use drugs, people who are in recovery and their families. The Scottish Government is aware that organisations providing this vital support often exist on shoestring budgets and are stretched to their limits. In some cases, the pandemic may have pushed these budgets further. It is hoped that this extra funding can help to provide more security. This fund is intended to help these organisations to stabilise or increase capacity, extend services and provide further reach into the community.
- Assessment outcomes will be communicated within 2 months of receipt of your application, unless you are informed otherwise.
- Open to organisations with an annual income of up to £500,000.
- Applicants can be charities, social enterprises, community groups and other voluntary organisations.
- Funding of up to £50,000 per year for up to three years.
Please email us on wellbeingteam@corra.scot for the application form. One of our Grant Advisors will arrange a time to have a chat about your proposal and provide guidance.

About the fund
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Due to high levels of demand, this fund was paused on the 6th March 2023. We are not able to consider applications received after this date.
The Local Support Fund – Micro Grants is focused on small community-based groups which deliver frontline services to support people who use or used drugs, people in recovery and families affected by someone else’s drug use. This vital support is often delivered with very limited funding which means that small groups can be stretched to their limits. In some cases, the pandemic will have put more of a strain on finances, making it even harder to provide support for people and families when they most need it. This fund is designed to help these groups by providing grants which will offer some financial security for planning and delivering support to improve the wellbeing of both people who use drugs and their families.
- Assessment outcomes will be communicated within 6 weeks of receipt of your application, unless you are informed otherwise.
- Micro Grants are for organisations with an annual income of up to £50,000
- Applicants can be charities, social enterprises or constituted community/voluntary groups that operate on a not-for-profit basis.
- Funding from £1,000 to £10,000 per year for up to three years.

The Improvement fund will support drug service resources, with a particular focus on supporting organisations which deliver residential rehabilitation and associated services. This fund aims to support projects which provide fast and appropriate access to treatment and care, and that support people by taking a rights-based and whole family approach. This means the fund is prioritising applications which relate to:
- Increasing Residential Rehabilitation provision and capacity will be the top priority
- Recovery Housing and Aftercare will be the second priority
- Supportive pathways into Residential Rehabilitation will be the third priority
The Improvement Fund will also be open to work that improves the quality of and access to support services that are not connected to Residential Rehabilitation. This includes projects that focus on improvement pathways, harm reduction support, additional capacity, workforce development and/or support for family members.
If you need to speak to us about an application or for other queries about the fund, please email wellbeingteam@corra.scot.

About the fund
This fund is now closed. We are not able to accept applications received after the closing time of 1pm on 1 December 2022.
This fund aims to support direct work with children and families affected by alcohol and drugs. We are seeking applications that are based on partnership approaches which demonstrate how they will take a Whole Family Approach which is Relational and Rights-Based when delivering front-line services which support children and families.
The fund is open to public sector organisations, charities, social enterprises, community groups and other voluntary organisations that have independent governance and an asset lock. The involvement of children and families with lived experience in the project proposal will be a key assessment criterion, and we are particularly interested in applications which include coproduction approaches to service design, delivery and review. All applications under this stream must demonstrate how the proposal considers the conclusions of the Independent Care Review as they relate directly to the children and families the initiative will support. This will require demonstrating an understanding of the need for the proposal to align with the implementation of the Care Review, as outlined in Plan 21-24 and Change Programme ONE and how the proposed work will relate to the national and local context which the organisation is operating in.
Applications must also demonstrate how the work links to the Whole Family Approach Funding that Scottish Government allocated to local Alcohol and Drug Partnerships (ADPs).
Because this funding aims to support the work of The Promise and the Whole Family Approach Fund, we strongly encourage applicants to have conversations with their local ADP and Promise delivery team as soon as possible.
If you need to speak to us about an application or for other queries about the fund, please email wellbeingteam@corra.scot.
