Workforce Wellbeing Fund for Adult Social Work and Social Care
Improving the wellbeing of adult social work and social care staff
The Scottish Government announced on 31 January 2022 a new fund to improve staff wellbeing across the Adult Social Work and Social Care sectors.
The £1 million fund is for ideas that staff themselves have said will help to improve their wellbeing. Applications are welcome to support staff working in Adult Social Work and Social Care across the public, private and voluntary sectors.
The fund is being managed by Inspiring Scotland on behalf of the Scottish Government. It opened for applications on 1 February 2022 and closed midday on 29 July 2022. Applications were considered throughout the period as they were submitted, and awards made on a rolling basis from March. This fund is now closed to applications.
What could you apply for?
- You could apply for activities or to purchase items that helped to improve the wellbeing of adult social work and social care staff, including social work students.
- We were keen to receive applications for innovative, imaginative or unusual projects from staff groups that struggle to access funding from other sources for their own wellbeing projects, activities or equipment.
- Applications were based on feedback from staff on what will improve their wellbeing.
- You could apply for grants of up to either a maximum of £5,000 for immediate impact projects or a maximum of £10,000 for activities which will have a more sustainable impact on staff wellbeing.
- All funding will be spent by 31 March 2023.
