The charity is the only Scottish charity that advocates on behalf of and supports those infected with hepatitis C, hepatitis B, and HIV (and their families and carers) from contaminated NHS blood or blood products, including blood transfusions. SIBF holds ongoing discussions with officials and Ministers from Scottish and UK Governments, the Scottish Infected Blood Support Scheme and Directors of the Infected Blood Compensation Authority to assist and advocate on behalf of our members in Scotland and the infected blood community farther afield.

Beneficiaries: 'People with disabilities or health problems'

Objectives: 2. The association's objects are: (a) The advancement of education. (b) The promotion of equality and diversity. (c) The relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage. In furtherance of these objects the association will provide a forum for persons affected by the administration of infected blood products or tissues: (i) to meet in the context of a forum having a common interest, (ii) to exchange information between individuals and bodies, (iii) to provide mutual support, advice and guidance, (iv) to inform the wider society of the relevant issues, and (v) to advocate for the needs of such people.
