Àban celebrates major funding award

Posted: Fri 26 Sep 2025

We are delighted to share that we have been awarded three years of funding from the National Lottery Community Fund - Young Start programme. 

Run by The National Lottery Community Fund Scotland for the Scottish Government, Young Start awards money from dormant bank and building society accounts that have seen no customer-initiated activity for at least 15 years. This grant is our largest to date, and crucially gives us the certainty that we can continue to deliver our outdoor youth work and volunteering opportunities all the way into 2028.
