Run by volunteers, the fund has been established to provide small financial awards to help looked after children on Compulsory Supervision Orders, who live in the local area and who are in need. The volunteers fund raise by holding local events like quizzes, afternoon teas and raffles. Donations to the fund are accepted.

Beneficiaries: 'Children or young people'

Objectives: ‘The West Lothian Childrens Panel Fund was set up to provide monetary assistance to Young People (for the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardshjp or other disadvantage), who are also subject to Compulsory Measures of Care under the Children's Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011, are resident in West Lothian, and have identified need for which no formal funding avenue is available. Seeing the need for this Fund in other local authority areas, the Fund would now like to help Young People in the Falkirk area and the Fund will now have two branches - Falkirk and West Lothian which will operated independently but will come together to share ideas around fundraising etc.’
