Response, Recovery and Resilience Fund (RRR): Foundation Scotland is the first of the funders to report on the impact of their coronavirus funding, and it is interesting reading. Their recommendations for future funding are 1) Invest in core funding and capacity building 2) Plan for implications of increased poverty and inequality 3) Recognise mental health as a primary issue in communities 4) Support groups to adjust to a ‘new normal’ 5) Collaborate for community resilience. This reflects what we have been hearing from individual organisations and I hope that there is additional funding to follow. RRR REPORT
