Title of policy:

Whole Family Support Third Sector Delivery Fund

Summary of aims and desired outcomes of Policy:

The Whole Family Support Third Sector Delivery Fund aims to enable third sector partners to strengthen and scale up interventions that are already demonstrating positive outcomes for families experiencing or at risk of child poverty. The Fund supports holistic, person-centred support within communities with high levels of deprivation and is intended to improve family wellbeing, reduce barriers to accessing services, and reduce the risk and impacts of child poverty over the long term.

The Fund supports ten third sector partnerships across Scotland and contributes to the National Performance Framework outcomes for Children and Young People, Communities, Education and Health. The Fund is also a key element of the Scottish Government’s wider commitment to tackling child poverty and enabling the delivery of Whole Family Support, which includes work to enable systems change through an integrated WFS Programme.
