02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The charity provides grants to organisations who meet one or more of the charities core objectives as contained in the Trust Deed. The Trustees continue to seek to identify projects to support that fall within the charitable purposes of the charity and have been proactive in meeting local charities and organisations in Aberdeen and the surrounding area to discuss potential funding projects. They are also setting up an online form which will be available through their website for organisations to put in funding applications. The Trustees meet quarterly to discuss and agree on which funding applications to approve. The charity expects to be in a position to make more grants during 2025/26 as awareness of the charity's work increases in the communities it aims to serve.
