Funding

The Group is primarily funded by Lloyds TSB Scotland but also by Scottish Power and The Royal Bank of Scotland.[1]

The groups literature makes a point of saying that although it is funded by corporate money it is completely independent of them. However their 2007 report does single out Scottish Power as a model of business involvement in community education.[2]

Connections

One of the aims of the Goodison Group is to create a culture of enterprise in Scotland. To this end they have been working with the Think Tank Demos and the Futures Forum. Representatives from both these bodies are members of the Group. Also Alf Young is the partner of Carol Craig who promotes greater self confidence as the solution to Scotland's problems
