Who We Fund and Why
Capital City Partnership (CCP) supports a number of activities in Edinburgh and its programme complements the wide range of projects and services funded through Edinburgh Partnership's Fairer Scotland Fund (FSF).
CCP is the strategic partner for the FSF improving employability priority and the majority of its investment is in services that support people towards and into work.
In 2009-10 the Partnership will seek to enhance the services available for young people and support resilience in employability services at a time of economic uncertainty. We are in discussion with the providers listed below to deliver the services described.
