Glasgow charity Street Soccer kick-off funding bid
The Scottish Government has vowed to reward organisations with fresh ideas on combating child poverty.
The £7.5 million Innovation Fund, financed in part by the Hunter Foundation, is now open for applications.
Communities, local charities, health boards and councils have all been encouraged to apply as the government implements its Tackling Child Poverty Delivery Plan.
A panel of judges with expertise in each sector will decide on which bodies are awarded investment.
