Workplace Equality Fund 2019/2020
Impact Funding Partners managed this fund on behalf of the Scottish Government. The Workplace Equality Fund 2019-20 distributed £800,000 worth of funding to 24 organisations. Funded organisations worked to promote and develop more inclusive and diverse workplaces in the private sector, so that everyone in Scotland has the opportunity to fulfil their potential.
Each project focussed on one or more priority groups from the following list: minority ethnic people; older workers (those aged over 50); people who experience gender based violence; workers who are experiencing social isolation and/or loneliness; and women.
They worked towards improving employment opportunities and progression for the priority groups, increasing skills, knowledge, policies and practices in the workplace and creating a more inclusive working environment to address employment inequalities and introduce positive practices.
Impact Funding Partners compiled and submitted an end of fund report to the funder.
