The Self Management Fund ran from 2009/10 – 2010/11 during which it invested £4m and supported 81 projects across Scotland. It is not currently open for new applications although LTCAS is working with the Scottish Government to try to secure further investment.
IMPACT - Evaluation Report Published
The IMPACT Evaluation Report, which reviews the background and aims of the Fund, how the money was allocated, challenges, achievements and learning and includes case studies from funded projects, was published in October 2011.
Steven Marwick, Director of Evaluation Support Scotland said:
“LTCAS’s Impact Report is a leading example of how a funder and funded projects can work together to share learning. The report is creative and reflective. Evaluation should tell us the story of how and why difference is made to people’s lives. And that’s exactly what the Impact Report does!”
