Corra Foundation exists to make a difference to the lives of people and communities. It works with others to encourage positive change, opportunity, fairness and growth of aspirations which improve quality of life. Corra wants to see a society in which people create positive change and enjoy fulfilling lives. In 2020 Corra launched a ten-year strategy. It is long term because making a different on the big challenges will take time. At its heart is the strong belief that when people find their voice, they unlock the power to make change happen. Corra delivers its strategy in many ways. It gives grants to charities and grassroots groups that make a day-to-day difference to lots of people’s lives. Some of that is through funding managed for others, like the Scottish Government. Corra also works alongside communities where people are coming together to find their own solutions to things like loneliness, poverty and health issues.
