02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The fund is specifically for those families and individuals who are currently experiencing hardship and have nowhere to turn in the event of a financial emergency. The fund is regarded as a fund of last resort, when all other avenues of possible support have been exhausted. Applications are submitted electronically and must be supported by a referee who is aware of the crisis situation eg Money Advice Moray, Citizens Advice Team, Moray Firth Credit Union, Social Work and who is happy to recommend support. We appeal to the local community to donate to the fund, thus enabling the fund to make grant awards - usually between £50 and £500. All applications are assessed by one of the team of assessors, who are all volunteers.
