Funding for 2012/14

The Scottish Government has allocated £1,650,000 funding for 2012/14 for the National Strategy for Adult Survivors of Childhood Abuse.

We recognise the need to continue the priorities identified outlined below. Also included in the funding is the SurvivorScotland website and communication strategy and the national training strategy.

We invite applications for funding for the following areas:

• Complex mental health for adult survivors of childhood abuse
• Complex physical health for adult survivors of childhood abuse
• Complex trauma for adult survivors of childhood abuse
• Learning disability for adult survivors of childhood abuse
• Minority ethnic services for adult services of childhood abuse
• Services for male survivors
• Services for male and female survivors in remote areas
• Services on prevention of childhood abuse
• Services to support survivors in prison

How to apply for funding

Please note the funding is not for the maintenance of existing services and training but for the development of services in the priority areas outlined although this does include existing services where further development of the priority areas is planned. We are also unable to fund research or the evaluation of existing services.

The funding available is for a period of two year and will be allocated in two parts.

As the amount of funding is limited we propose to restrict awards to £25,000 and you should bear this in mind when submitting your application.

Organisations may submit applications for more than one of the priority areas. However, given the limited amount of funding available and in the interest of providing equitable access to the number of organisations expected to apply, it may be necessary to restrict the number of awards we are able to make to any organisation which applies for more than one priority area.
