The overall vision for the fund was to:

  • Deliver nationally on improved outcomes for children, families, young people and adult learners through supporting the Third Sector in prevention and early intervention approaches.
  • Strengthening the Third Sector to increase the effectives of services and policies that prioritise prevention and early intervention in the areas of children, young people and families and adult learning at a national level.

Core funding grants were first announced by Scottish Government in December 2015, with £14 million allocated to third sector organisations in the first year of a three-year programme. Further extensions to this Fund were announced each year for core funding recipients from 2018 until March 2025. Thirty organisations also received funding through project funding between 2017-2019.
