| What is the Self Management Fund?
The Self Management Fund is available to voluntary organisations and community groups throughout Scotland to support work to encourage people living with long term conditions to learn more about the management of their condition, and to become active partners in their own care.
The fund is initially set at £2 million per year, over 2009/10 and 2010/11
The Self Management Fund will encourage good practice to be shared and innovative approaches to be developed. LTCAS will work with those organisations who will receive funding to capture learning gained through the projects and share this widely across Scotland.
Full details on how to apply can be found in the guidance notes and application pack.
The Self Management Fund is a key recommendation of 'Gaun Yersel' - The Self Management Strategy for Scotland' published in 2008 in partnership between LTCAS and the Scottish Government.
