Scottish Parliament Written Question
S6W-26711
Tuesday 23rd April 2024

Asked by: Eagle, Tim (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party - Highlands and Islands)

Question

To ask the Scottish Government how much funding in total has been distributed from the Fuel Insecurity Fund within each local authority area in each year since it was launched.

Answered by Martin, Gillian - Minister for Energy and the Environment

The Scottish Government does not hold the full level of information requested.

Each FIF partner was distinct in terms of their delivery and approach, which was often demand-driven through referral partner networks. We agreed an approach to monitoring and evaluation of support provided by delivery partners which sought to avoid excessive demands for data gathering and reporting, yet provides a level of robust quantitative and qualitative data, which ensured the FIF could be distributed to those most in need.

The Scottish Federation of Housing Associations (SFHA) support included funding for Registered Social Landlords and cooperatives, covering distribution across the 32 local authorities as set out in the following table:

Advice Direct Scotland (ADS) and the Fuel Bank Foundation utilised large referral networks across the nation and therefore do not currently hold data based on distributed funding per local authority area. Fuel Bank support was provided by their 200+ partner network across all 32 local authorities. ADS had an associated Scotland-wide network of over 1400 partners with coverage across all 32 local authorities.

The Wise Group were a new FIF delivery partner brought on in 2023-24, operating a pilot project across 6 local authorities in Glasgow, Renfrewshire, Inverclyde, North and South Lanarkshire and the Borders supporting up to 3,000 households, with a holistic, sustainable long-term approach to lifting people out of poverty.

On receipt of FIF delivery partners 2023/24 summary reports, further information can be made available and will be published on respective partner websites.
