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]
