The charity was set up as 'a fund of last resort' in 2023 to help families and individuals who had nowhere to turn to in the event of a financial emergency situation, or who had exhausted all avenues of possible public/government support. A similar fund operated in Moray during Covid, and it brought home to the Trustees of that fund who are also trustees of this charity, an acute awareness of the poverty prevalent in the Moray area. A website was set up and online donation and application forms were created. Business and individuals responded with generous donations which then allowed the charity to launch in July 2023. Other than very small payments of £240 for marketing materials the only outgoings for the charity relate to grant awards made to individuals and families. All applications require to be supported by a professional referrer eg Moray Council Money Advice Team, Social Work, Health Visitor who have an awareness of the financial emergency.
