Annex 1: Wellbeing Fund Open Application Process: Local authority-level summary

The table shows data about applications and approved projects from the Wellbeing Fund Open Application Process Rounds One and Two, broken down by local authority.

Where an applicant specified more than one local authority as their operational area, the amount awarded has been shared proportionately here between the specified authorities, on the basis of population. We do not know the actual split of project allocation and expenditure between local authorities, based on the limited information provided by applicants. As such the allocations to local authorities can only be indicative. Awards to organisations working Scotland-wide are listed at the bottom of the table.
