Response

I enclose details of the grant funding provided to Young Scot from the Scottish Government from 2013-2018, and have attached spreadsheets to identify the grant funding levels provided for each of the financial years, including the details on what the grant funding was awarded for.

Sheet 1: Provides the total grant funding provided for each of the financial years 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18.

Sheet 2-6: Outlines the detail of all grant funding to Young Scot for each individual financial year including: Vendor Name, Invoice Date, Invoice Total, Description, Payment Amount, Branch, Division, Directorate, Directorate General, Portfolio.

To clarify, grants are a type of funding provided by the Scottish Government to individuals or organisations. They are awarded for specific purposes, often covered by legislation, and depend on eligibility and the availability of funds.

Substantial parts of the Scottish Government's budget are spent on grant funding. Awarding grants helps us deliver our policies and contributes to our strategic objectives by supporting individuals and organisations across the public, private and third sector.
