Question
To ask the Scottish Government what grant funding it has awarded to businesses and organisations in the Cowdenbeath constituency in each of the last five financial years, broken down by (a) business or organisation and (b) year of award.
Answer
SG does not currently hold central information of individual grants at the locality level. Most grants are provided to organisations for specific policy aims and those grants are managed by various specific policy areas within SG. To ensure fair and transparent application processes, these funds are advertised as appropriate on the Gov.scot website or other specific sites to ensure stakeholders and key specific groups are targeted for applications. Although it won’t cover all grants in the locality requested, Scottish Enterprise may be able to provide more information on specific enterprise grants in the area, I have instructed my officials to reach out to Scottish Enterprise to provide you with the information you have requested.
