02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

Originally set up to provide financial and other relief to the people of Moray who may have suffered hardship as a result of Covid 19. Donations were sought from the local community and businesses and then applications invited from individuals and families, supported by a referee who knew the financial situation, for small grants. The fund closed to applications relative to Covid in September 2021, but remains open to deal with any emergency type situations in the future.
