'the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage'

The purpose of the Kilbride Benevolent Fund is to make small grants to pay for services (eg plumbing or electrical) or to provide domestic equipment to persons 'in need' who live within the villages of Whiting Bay and Lamlash on the Isle of Arran. Our funds come from the residue of the local Parish Nurse Fund which was no longer required when the National Health Service came into being in the last century. Applications for assistance come through Social Services, the local Medical Centre, the schools, Arran Council for Voluntary Service, the churches, via the Trustees and from the applicants themselves. In each instance the Trustees are consulted and jointly decide whether the application fits the Fund's criteria. We also give occasional sums of money to the local Social Services team to be used for small grants to people 'in need' who live in the catchment area.

Beneficiaries: 'Older People','No specific group, or for the benefit of the community'

Objectives: The object of the Kilbride Benevolent Fund is to make one off grants to those in need and who live within the villages of Lamlash and Whiting Bay. These grants will come from the income of investments. All applicants will be treated equally and without prejudice.
