News / Former project run by SYIS re-instated
SHETLAND Charitable Trust has agreed to re-instate grant funding to the PEER Education Project (PEP), which is now run under the auspices of Voluntary Action Shetland (VAS).
Earlier this year the project lost its funding when the trust decided to pull their annual support of almost £190,000 to Shetland Youth Information Service (SYIS).
On Thursday, trustees agreed that PEP had been a “valuable project” within the SYIS set-up and approved funding for a year until the end of March 2014.
Trustees heard that the project’s other funder, the Robertson Trust, had agreed to re-allocate its contribution of £12,000 to VAS but required match funding from the trust.
Trustees then agreed to increase their original PEP funding of £11,229 to £12,000 to be paid to VAS.
