Esmee Fairbairn Foundation
The Esmee Fairbairn Foundation continue to support SPAEN’s outreach and engagement work with carers across Scotland.
The Robertson Trust
The Robertson Trust has provided matched funding to assist SPAEN’s SDS Outreach Project. The project aims to promote self-directed support; the 4 options and encourage people to exercise choice and control through the provision of information and practical support and guidance.
The project will be focussing on areas of Scotland where the uptake of Options 1, 2 and 4 under SDS are lower than the national average.
