- I noticed that Scottish Borders Council had a Queen's Platinum Jubilee Fund, which has awarded money to various community organisations. I'm curious as to how this was funded. Is this money coming directly from the Council's coffers or was another party involved in providing the funding? How much, in total, has been given away to these groups?I am hoping that Scottish Borders Council can provide me with the relevant information under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
