Had a lovely morning at the Celebrating Community Events hosted by VANL promoting Funding Scotland and the support @scvo.scot provides to the sector.

It was brilliant to speak directly with organisations that told me they’ve successfully found and secured funding thanks to using Funding Scotland!

It was fantastic to learn more and hear about Shines Women's Mentoring Service's success today! My favourite quote from a mentee was, "Feeling super positive, very privileged and grateful to have a future to build." 💭
As the service comes to a close, we’re looking back, and celebrating Shine Women’s Mentoring’s 12 years. We’ve supported thousands of women in that time and learned how to do it really well. Thankfully there will be a future for this work and we’re excited to be a part of it.
