The Scottish Government has given CJS the go ahead to commence a grant
process to commission a single national voluntary throughcare partnership to
provide support to all people leaving prison after a short prison sentence or a
period on remand.
The commissioning team at Community Justice Scotland are hosting a number of
launch events throughout March to provide further detail on the grant
specification and process in advance of the application stage, answer any
questions and allow networking and facilitation of partnership formation
between third sector organisations who have an interest in applying for the
funding.
These sessions will be made up of one in person event followed by two online
sessions on MS Teams. If there is sufficient demand there may be an additional
online session w/c 25th March.
