The Robertson Trust

Working for a fairer Scotland

We are here to prevent and reduce poverty and trauma in Scotland, by funding, supporting, and influencing solutions to drive social change.

We’ll be joined by a Funding Officer at the Robertson Trust, Kerry McFarlane to talk about the funds they currently have open.  With over 13 years’ experience in assessing applications and managing existing grants, Kerry currently coordinates the Trust’s Wee Grants fund, aimed at small, grassroots organisations working at a local level within their communities and will provide an update on the focus of this fund, following a review of the Trust’s open grants in 2024, and the application process

National Lottery Community Fund

The National Lottery raises money for good causes.

People use this funding to do extraordinary things, taking the lead to improve their lives and communities. Every time you buy a National Lottery ticket, you help make this happen.

Communities come in all shapes and sizes, and National Lottery funding is there for everyone.

There are 12 distributors of money raised by the players of The National Lottery, which fund projects and activities that transform communities, protect our heritage, and enrich lives through arts, sports and culture.
