To mark our 30th Anniversary, we’re sharing 30 interesting facts about Foundation Scotland. 6. Did you know… funding decisions were once supported by a ‘Grants Council’ – around 30 to 40 people across the country who would meet applicants, visit projects and spread the word.

The UK Government recently committed to a phase‑out and two Scottish political parties backed this change in their manifestos. ✅ With a new Scottish Parliament now in place, we will be working hard to make sure Scotland delivers a future without farrowing cages. #StandUpForPigs
