The Scottish Government has established a new £1million Outdoor Clothing Fund which opens for applications on Friday 15 January. This Fund will enable partner providers of funded Early Learning and Childcare (ELC), including childminders who deliver funded ELC, to purchase outdoor winter clothing for children in their settings who need it most.
The Outdoor Clothing Fund will open to applications on Friday 15 January 2021 and will be managed by Inspiring Scotland’s Thrive Outdoors on behalf of the Scottish Government.
By providing appropriate outdoor clothing, to children who do not currently have access to these items, the Fund aims to reduce inequalities and improve access to outdoor experiences in ELC.
Please follow this link to register your interest online, which you can access
