Over 20 charities are set to receive a share of a £6.8 million funding boost for vulnerable young children and families.
The Early Years Action Fund delivered by Inspiring Scotland in partnership with the Scottish Government will invest in a total of 28 projects delivered by 24 charities across Scotland.
The funding, launched earlier this year, will support vulnerable children and their families to prevent any problems they face escalating into costly and difficult crisis situations.
The areas the fund aims to support include: parenting, play, childcare, child and maternal health and family support with the clear aim of helping parents and communities build better lives for themselves and their children.
Charities in the Edinburgh area that will benefit from this funding include One Parent Families Scotland – Fathers, Partners in Advocacy and Action for Children.
