To ask the Scottish Government what it considers is a successful enough outcome from the £200,000 fund for Social Impact Partners for it to decide to establish a new £10 million Social Impact Investment Fund, as outlined in the 2026 Scottish National Party manifesto.
Outcomes and outcomes frameworks will be scoped out as part of a programme of work that seeks to increase investment that supports the growth and development of outcomes based commissioning through the use of Social Impact Partnerships to support interventions that:
1) prevent and stop re-offending
2) provide safe spaces for young people to divert them from anti-social behaviour and crime
The Scottish Government will keep Parliament updated regarding all progress made towards achieving this commitment.
