Keith Brown MSP, Member of the Scottish Parliament for the Clackmannanshire & Dunblane constituency, has welcomed the announcement by the Scottish Government of a further £30 million of funding for two funds aimed at improving mental health and wellbeing in adults, children, and young people.

Speaking today, Keith said:

“An additional £30 million for community-based mental health and wellbeing projects is very good news indeed.  It will help support adults, children and young people across Scotland and in my Clackmannanshire & Dunblane constituency.

“This is a funding boost which will be directed towards grassroots initiatives delivering vital programmes aimed at building resilience and addressing social isolation, through prevention and early intervention.

“I warmly welcome this investment which really does reflect the Scottish Government’s commitment to providing tackling mental health inequalities.”
