Impact Funding Partners are delighted to be managing the Scottish Government’s Workplace Equality Fund for 2019/2020.

The Workplace Equality Fund (WEF) works with employers to address long standing barriers particular groups face in entering and progressing in the labour market so that everyone in Scotland has the opportunity to fulfil their potential. The Scottish Government is keen to ensure that the economy is representative of society, and focus on delivering inclusive economic growth.

As many of you will know, recently Voluntary Action Fund became Impact Funding Partners. This change in name more accurately depicts the breadth and depth of our activities and better reflects who we are and the change that we make.

From today, you can now sign up to our brand new newsletter and keep up to date with all the news, announcements and exciting updates from Impact Funding Partners.

Since March 2018, Impact Funding Partners have been proud to be a part of the Kindness Innovation Network (KIN), a group of people and professionals from across Scotland who were brought together by Carnegie UK Trust to encourage kindness in their organisations and communities.

Community Enterprise Scotland have launched a new Social Enterprise Eco-System map.

The easy to use map, which is fully interactive, is designed for community groups, third sector organisations, social enterprises and social entrepreneurs.
