Third sector organisations supporting children, young people and families are invited to apply for Scottish Government’s Whole Family Support Third Sector Delivery Fund.

The £20 million fund supports projects which provide holistic, preventative support to families, helping them access the right help earlier and improving outcomes for children and young people. It forms part of the wider Whole Family Wellbeing approach, which focuses on providing coordinated support that meets the needs of the whole family.

Funding is available for third sector organisations which deliver direct services to families, particularly where projects demonstrate early intervention, prevention and collaborative working with partners. Partnership bids are encouraged, and applications should show how proposed activities will strengthen whole-family support and improve wellbeing.

This funding may be of particular interest to organisations working across areas such as family support, mental health and wellbeing, community-based services, and early help for children and young people.

The application deadline is 11:59pm on Thursday 7 May 2026.
