This statement has been coordinated by The Scotland Funders’ Forum.
Our Widening Access Coordinator, DonnaMarie Steel, and Laura Robertson (Poverty Alliance) discuss the findings from our recent evidence review which looked at the mentoring/tutoring landscape in Scotland.
Our Widening Access Coordinator, DonnaMarie Steel, reflects on the findings of recent work around mentoring and tutoring provision in Scotland.
New analysis, undertaken by the Poverty Alliance on behalf of The Robertson Trust, examines evidence on the effectiveness of mentoring and tutoring for children and young people living in poverty and provides an overview of the current policy and practice landscape in Scotland.
A year from the start of the Trust’s strategy, and to mark Challenge Poverty Week, our Chief Executive, Jim McCormick, looks at the poverty pressures bearing down on low-income households in Scotland and where action is needed if we are to apply the lessons of the pandemic.
We are delighted to share the results of our Third Sector Capacity Building Survey, which we will use to contribute to the design of our current and future offers; helping us to respond to the challenges organisations are currently facing whilst also informing the development of a longer-term package of support.
