Gap Funding Ensures Support For The Vulnerable In ScotlandSome 58 projects will receive a share of £10.4 million from the ESF Shadow Round. In addition, £10.5 million has been recycled from underspends in existing programmes.
Deputy Minister for Enterprise Allan Wilson, 2nd April 2007 said:

"Many of these projects will address important issues such as reducing the NEET group (Not in Employment, Education or Training), and tackling poverty and disadvantage to get people back in the workplace.
