These are developed in response to what we have learnt from listening and talking with charities. Our work on #BeConnected, a series of conversations with charities in Perth and Kinross, helped us to design our current grants plus programme.
Through our work on grants plus, we aim to support charities with developing sustainability; enable charities in building capability; encourage innovation and enterprise; be a more impactful and responsive funder for the sector; and build relationships and collaboration in Perth and Kinross. Most of our grants plus activities are delivered in partnership with specialist providers.
Check out our #CharityStory about a recent Grants Plus initiative delivered for Perth based charity Kythe.
We have also been working on a collaborative project called #BeConnected, bringing together charity partners to discuss local needs and strategies for delivering community projects. Take a look at our report to see what we delivered.
The Cyber and Fraud Centre Scotland is hitting the road to Perth to deliver a cyber security roadshow in collaboration with The Gannochy Trust and Third Sector Interface (Perth & Kinross). This event will focus on discussing some key cyber security topics you and your organisation should be considering for 2024. Everything discussed will tie in with additional resources available and help you fully utilise these within your own organisation. This face to face event will give everyone an excellent chance to network with others working within the Public and Third Sectors interested in cyber security.
