About This Opportunity
The Transition Fund helps young disabled people in Scotland with the transition after leaving school or children's services. The fund provides financial support to enable young disabled people to try new activities and experiences that will help them become more engaged and active in their community, enhance their independence and confidence, and help them to spend more time with other people. The fund is designed to combat isolation and support the critical transition period for young adults with disabilities. Due to unprecedented demand, the fund currently restricts new grants to first-time applicants only, implemented from January 1, 2024. The current processing time for applications is 20 weeks, with applications processed in date order. Applicants are advised to submit applications at least 19 weeks before funds are needed to ensure timely processing and payment.
