Who and what are Wee Grants for?
What type of work does it fund?
The Robertson Trust’s strategy is about preventing and reducing poverty and trauma for people and communities in Scotland. Within this, they recognise the importance of strong, supportive and connected communities for people who are experiencing or at risk of experiencing poverty and trauma. They also understand the key role played by grassroots groups in helping to build these. The Robertson Trust recognise that many organisations applying for a Wee Grant may not exist to tackle poverty and trauma specifically, but that their work to create social connections, peer supports and access to essential services benefits those who are experiencing or at risk of experiencing these issues.
Through the Wee Grants, they want to support organisations who are focused on building strong communities in places which have higher rates of poverty and trauma, or who are working with certain groups of people who are at a higher risk of experiencing poverty and trauma.
