EDC Community Grants Consultation Opens

You are invited to take part in one of our planned focus groups. The focus group should last no longer than one and a half hours. The aim of the focus group is to better understand the experience and perspectives of those who have either interacted or chosen not to interact with the grant scheme, and to use this information to enhance the effectiveness of the community grant scheme and ensure it is accessible, equitable and responsive to the needs of the community.

Your participation in the focus group will make a difference and help us create a better tomorrow. Let your voice be heard and together we can make a positive change.

Supporting those with mental health and money worries: advice for frontline staff

The Scottish Government Mental Health directorate, in collaboration with Change Mental Health and a number of other partners have developed an info pack for frontline workers on how to best support people experiencing mental health and wellbeing challenges as a result of increased money worries.

The pack can be used to guide frontline workers to sources of support that they can signpost individuals to or access themselves. It will support staff to access a range of advice and support beyond their own organisations and areas of expertise, including support for their own mental wellbeing. Please note that it is not intended to be used as a leaflet for frontline advisers to hand out to individuals.
