Scottish Government third sector funding allocations: FOI release
Information requested
You asked for details of Scottish Government funding to a list of organisations, with a breakdown by fiscal year.
Response
I enclose a copy of the information you requested.
Some of the information you have requested is available from the Scottish Government website. While for this request, no organisation has solely had payments of over £25,000, the Scottish Government publishes monthly details of all individual payments made which are over £25,000. Details of these reports can be found at Government spend over £25,000: monthly and annual reports - gov.scot .
Under section 25(1) of FOISA, we do not have to give you information which is already reasonably accessible to you.
If, however, you do not have internet access to obtain this information from the website(s) listed, then please contact me again and I will send you a paper copy.
In order to answer your request, I have pulled information from the Scottish Government's central accounting system, and its predecessor, in order to identify all payments made to the listed organisations. Organisations may also receive funding from the Scottish Government via aggregated managed funds, and in these cases, the payments would be listed on our systems as aggregated payments to the fund managers, not the individual organisations. Therefore these payments are not included in the figures released below.
In the time period requested the Scottish Government has directly paid the organisations listed the following amounts.
Organisation 21-22 22-23 23-24 24-25 Total Carers Scotland £0.00 £0.00 £0.00 £149,534.50 £149,534.50 Citizens Advice Scotland £7,259,878.85 £8,362,259.31 £8,607,857.74 £7,130,964.55 £31,360,960.45 Amnesty International UK £0.00 £0.00 £0.00 £0.00 £0.00 Human Rights Consortium Scotland £9,100.00 £27,300.00 £8,000.00 £699.00 £45,099.00 Equality and Human Rights Commission Scotland £40,534.93 £0.00 £0.00 £0.00 £40,534.93 Oxfam Scotland £299,343.00 £0.00 £500,000.00 £725,000.00 £1,524,343.00 Zero Tolerance £88,886.00 £0.00 £0.00 £8,168.44 £97,054.44 Environmental Rights Centre for Scotland £0.00 £0.00 £0.00 £0.00 £0.00 The Young Womens Movement £0.00 £0.00 £0.00 £0.00 £0.00
The Scottish Government made no direct payments to Amnesty International UK, Environmental Rights Centre for Scotland or The Young Womens Movement in the time period requested.
Environmental Standards Scotland, for whom you also requested the information, is not a third sector organisation. Details of budget allocations to public bodies are available on the Scottish Government's website. The 24-25 Budget can be found at Scottish Budget: 2024 to 2025 - gov.scot.
