The question
To ask the Scottish Government what support will be made available to organisations in Dundee that have relied on Whole Family Wellbeing Funding to ensure that services can continue where existing funding has ended and replacement funding streams have not yet opened.
The answer
The Scottish Government has extended the Whole Family Wellbeing Funding Programme (WFWF) into 2026-27, this includes providing £38.1 million for Children's Services Planning Partnerships (CSPPs) to continue the transformation of holistic whole family support in local communities. To ensure funding is tailored to meet local needs, each CSPP is responsible for deciding how to spend their allocation.Beyond this financial year, the Tackling Child Poverty Delivery Plan: Next steps and timeline
