Launched today, the new Independent Human Rights Fund for Scotland has awarded ERCS a grant for our work on environmental rights and opening our law centre.
The new Fund has been created to support defending human rights in Scotland, focussing on people whose rights are most at risk.
We are grateful to share that the Environmental Rights Centre for Scotland is one of the three organisations awarded a grant in the first round of the Fund’s work. Over the next three years, this grant will support our core work on advancing people’s environmental rights in Scotland and part-fund opening our law centre.
Independent from the government, the Fund is supported by a partnership of: AB Charitable Trust, The Baring Foundation, The Binks Trust, Cattanach, Corra Foundation, The Robertson Trust and William Grant Foundation. It is hosted by Corra Foundation.
The next round of applications will open in Summer 2024.
