Resilience, Recovery and Development

The Self Management Fund: Resilience, Recovery and Development Round One projects began on 1 June 2021, Round Two projects on 1 October 2022, with Round Three projects beginning on 1 October 2023 Flash reports on the first two rounds are available below.

In general, the funded projects:

• Strengthen the resilience of the people they work with and the organisations
• Increase the opportunities for recovery in communities and the third sector
• Develop the services that have been identified as required for the future
• Contribute to the purpose of the Scottish Government’s Framework for supporting people through Recovery and Rehabilitation during and after the COVID-19 Pandemic (this link will take you away from our website) this link will take you away from The Alliance website
• Contribute to the resilience, recovery and development of people, communities and the third sector through and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic

In Round One, two grant types were offered, designed to:

• Test or investigate an idea
• Build on or develop existing work or knowledge
• Establish a service that is new to your organisation

In Round Two, grants were offered to projects to:

• Provide support to people experiencing multiple forms of marginalisation, including people with sensory loss; ethnic minority communities; disabled children and young people; people with learning and intellectual disabilities; people experiencing economic deprivation; and unpaid carers
• Focus on a hybrid way of working and supporting digital inclusion for those who have been excluded from the move to digital services.

In Round Three, grants were offered to projects to:

• Provide support for disabled people and people living with long term conditions and/or unpaid carers who experience disrupted care
• Address the wider determinants of health so that individuals are supported to live their lives better on their own terms, progress to employment, create and develop sustainable communities, and take a leadership role in preventing ill-health.

The majority of RRD grantees are still working to deliver activities and we will share more learning as projects continue to develop.
