Episode Details

West Lothian’s charities are stretched thin as council funding remains frozen at just $944,000—only $360,000 of which is available for grants—yet demand for community support is soaring. With over $1 million in requests this year, officials reviewed 43 applications totaling $1.2 million but could only award $362,000. Still, 16 groups got funding—with five securing major service deals worth nearly $570,000, including key support for youth and transport. Leaders stress collaboration is vital as these grassroots organizations keep vulnerable communities afloat, but without stable, increased investment, essential services risk disappearing.
