The question
To ask the Scottish Government what engagement it has had with the UK Government regarding its review of National Lottery Good Cause funding and how it is distributed, including any potential implications for funding in Scotland.
The answer
Officials from the UK Governments Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) engaged with relevant Scottish Government officials in July 2026 to advise on it's review of National Lottery Good Cause funding.Since this initial engagement, Scottish Government officials have sat on a dedicated intergovernmental working group alongside DCMS and representatives from Wales and Northern Ireland. This devolved nations working group ensures that devolved policy contexts are respected, the interests of the funding recipients in the devolved nations are represented, and that UK-wide review objectives do not undermine devolved decision-making powers.
