Way Forward is a joint programme invested in by Corra Foundation and the Scottish Government.

What is available?

The programme will distribute £470,000 in grant funding in this round. Applicants can apply for up to £250,000 over three years, a minimum of 50% matched funding must be in place in each funding year.

Who can apply?

We invite applications from partnerships, led by third sector organisations working together with public bodies.

Our learning from the first rounds of the programme underlines the need for applicants to focus on:

  • Supporting work which reflects Whole Family Approaches
  • Work that reflects a formal partnership and collaborative working between public and third sector agencies
  • Work that involves meaningful collaboration with children, young people and families affected by drugs and alcohol

More information, including full criteria and guidance can be found here The Way Forward for Families Partnership.

Following your initial welcome chat, completed applications must be sent in via the online application portal by 2pm on Thursday 8th May 2025.

Looking for support with funding?

Identifying funding opportunities and writing grant applications can seem overwhelming, especially when the future sustainability of your group is dependent on gaining funding support. 

Our supportive Funding Officer, Claire Shaw, can help your organisation with every step of the funding application process, from carrying out funding searches to proofreading your application.
