THE Findhorn Foundation has been given £100,000 by the Scottish Government to support its work during the Covid-19 lockdown.
The cash injection has come from the Third Sector Resilience Fund, a £20 million emergency fund set up by the government for charities, community groups, social enterprises and voluntary organisations.
The fund supports organisations that already deliver services and products and helps them to stabilise and manage cash flows over this difficult
period.
The Foundation’s chief financual officer Simon Stedman said: "We are very grateful for the way in which the Scottish Government has responded with such speed and practical support.
"The Findhorn Foundation, which is at the heart of an extraordinary community and ecovillage, usually attracts thousands of visitors a year to the Moray area through its programmes on personal, social and environmental wellbeing.
"This grant will assist us to continue with renewed hope, enthusiasm and creativity to help create a better Scotland and a better world during and after the Covid-19 lockdown.”
The foundation is offering free online spiritual resources to people around the world at this time and developing online courses and workshops.
Residential workshops and events – whichit relies on for 80 per cent of its income – have been suspended until at least June 5.
