Grant News

The Robertson Trust, which supports Scottish organisations and initiatives tackling poverty and trauma, has announced that its Small and Large Grants programmes will reopen towards the end of October 2024.

Initially, funding will focus on the themes of:

• Financial Security: improving income adequacy, income security, manageable costs, financial safety nets and advice for those most at risk of poverty and trauma
• Education Pathways: preventing and reducing poverty and trauma through access and engagement in early years, education, training and learning
• Work Pathways: improving access to good and fair work that can prevent and reduce poverty through increased pay, hours and career progression. We will also consider support for employability, focused on areas or groups with lower employment rates

An additional theme, Emotional Wellbeing and Relationships, will launch later this year.

Further information will be made available in due course.
