Sharpening the focus of Our Funds
Our Chief Executive, Jim McCormick, provides an update on upcoming changes to Our Funds.
Funding
During the course of our 2020-30 strategy, we're providing at least £200 million in funding to third sector organisations that help people and communities in Scotland living with poverty and trauma.
Our Themes
Running through our objectives are our thematic priorities which define how we will contribute to change. These are Education Pathways, Financial Security, Work Pathways and Emotional Wellbeing and Relationships.
What we do
We fund and support organisations working to alleviate poverty and trauma in Scotland. We also inform and influence the sector, stakeholders and decision-makers, sharing our knowledge, solutions and networks.
Founded in 1961 by the Robertson sisters, we continue to build on their legacy and vision.
