4. Percentages do not equal 100 due to rounding.

5. The awarded organisations were located in 211 of the 7000 datazones and 187 of the 1300 intermediate zones represented.

6. The SIMD splits Scotland into 6,976 equal areas of roughly the same population size. It uses 38 indicators to measure different aspects of deprivation, including unemployment, crime and travel times to local GP surgeries. It then uses these to rank each data zone depending on its level of deprivation, where the first quintile represents the 20% most deprived areas in Scotland. For more information, see: https://www.gov.scot/publications/scottish-index-multiple-deprivation-2020/

7. More information about the British Red Cross Covid-19 Vulnerability Index is available here: https://britishredcrosssociety.github.io/covid-19-vulnerability/ This analysis is based on the Index for Intermediate Zones in Scotland as available at June 2020.

8. Please note that these figures are different to the figures presented the earlier publication Wellbeing Fund: Analysis of Awards (Scottish Government, November 2020) because the present report is based on monitoring data through which organisations could select multiple categories, whereas the previous report was based on data from the application forms, in which organisations were asked to pick a single category.
