He has worked with the Big Lottery Fund and its predecessor, the New Opportunities Fund, since 2001, where he has led on the policy development of many programmes, initiatives and investment areas in Scotland and across the UK. Amongst the investment areas he currently leads policy on is Growing Community Assets or ‘GCA’, which aims to enable communities throughout Scotland to have more control and influence over their future development through owning and developing local assets.
