She is responsible for the delivery and implementation of the awards programme which includes the distribution of funds from the Scottish Government’s £1m Social Entrepreneurs Fund. Having started her career in the private sector, Karen moved to the public sector where she joined the Community Fund, now Big Lottery Fund, and built up her particular expertise in grant funding policy. Seven years at the Lottery has given Karen an extensive background in developing new funding programmes and designing and implementing customer focussed pre-application support and outreach services.
