21 Jun 2023, 12:30

Join SIS and a special guest from Aberdeen Arts Centre to hear how funds from the Social Enterprise Just Transition Fund have made a difference at the Centre, and learn how communities and citizens will benefit from a Just Transition.

Social Investment Scotland (SIS) is running a number of sessions for charities and Social Enterprises based in or delivering impact in the North East of Scotland - Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray to explore what a Just Transition for Scotland means for organisations and the people and communities they support.

These sessions will explore the main themes of a Just Transition, which promote the Scottish Government's vision of a fairer, greener Scotland.

SIS, in partnership with the Scottish Government, is managing the Social Enterprise Just Transition Fund (part loan, part grant) for social enterprises or charities based in / or delivering impact in these specific three areas in the North East of Scotland.

  • As part of this session there will be a chance to hear about organisations who are already on this journey - what was the ambition?
