The Robertson Trust, one of Scotland's leading grant-making charities, has introduced a new funding theme named "Nurturing Relationships" as part of its ongoing commitment to address the intertwined issues of persistent poverty and intergenerational trauma.

This initiative reflects a strategic pivot towards preventing and alleviating the impact of trauma within impoverished families, highlighting the Trust's understanding that poverty often exacerbates familial stress and trauma such as mental health issues, substance abuse, domestic violence, and poor health.

From the 27^th November 2024, the Trust will accept applications for both small and large grants under this theme.  The deadline for applications will be the 24^th January 2025.

This funding opportunity is aimed at supporting projects that can demonstrate a clear alignment with the Trust's refined focus on fostering positive relationships as a means to combat the cyclic nature of poverty and trauma. The exact details regarding the funding priorities and eligibility criteria will be made available on the 27^th November 2024.
