SCVO Chief Executive Anna Fowlie today welcomed Scottish Government’s
position statement on the post-Brexit replacement for European funding:
“The UK Government has been promising details of a UK Shared Prosperity Fund for two years now, but we remain
completely in the dark. Scotland’s voluntary sector has benefitted hugely from European funding over the
years, particularly in rural areas, and our communities have been strengthened as a result. We are less than
two months from the Brexit cliff edge and, remarkably, still have no idea what will replace that vital
resource. The proposal published today is a collective and constructive proposition that would ensure any
replacement funding reaches the communities in Scotland that need some certainty and hope for the future.”
