Our vision is of a fair and compassionate Scotland where everyone is valued and able to flourish. We work to prevent and reduce poverty and trauma in Scotland, funding, supporting and influencing solutions to drive social change. Underpinning our strategy are three objectives which drive our work: Fund, Support and Influence. The majority of our funding activity is delivered through Our Funds which is the responsive grant making strand of the Trust and includes Wee Grants, Small Grants, Large Grants, Community Vehicles and Community Spaces. We have Programme Awards which are generally larger and fund specific activities that are trying to achieve big change that lasts. We also provide funding to support individuals who face financial and social barriers, to attend university through our Robertson Trust Scholarship Programme.
