| 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.
Third round projects announced!
LTCAS is delighted to announce 25 new self management projects for Scotland. The 25 successful projects are varied in location and theme, and diverse in approach as well as in the conditions they support.
81 organisations across Scotland now share the £4million made available by the Scottish Government.
Among the 25 new projects to be supported are those which focus on conditions that are often overlooked or misdiagnosed. For more details, read the full press release here
