Today’s press release says that -
‘Areas set to benefit from funding in 2014/15 include:
• £3.5 million for advice services to support those affected by welfare reform.
• £1 million for mitigation projects, research and support for Local Authorities and other organisations.
• £2.5 million in anti-poverty projects, including continued support for One Parent Families Scotland (OPFS) – who provide advice and support services for lone parents. ‘
