The Robertson Trust has opened applications for its Nurturing Relationships theme through its Large and Small Grants programmes.
This funding focuses on the vital role that relationships play in tackling poverty and trauma across Scotland. It aims to help families and individuals build resilience, strengthen connections, and prevent the impacts of intergenerational disadvantage.
The theme evolved from the Trust’s previous Emotional Wellbeing and Relationships programme and has a sharper, preventative focus. Earlier this year, The Robertson Trust piloted the approach through an Open Call, awarding £3.23 million to 39 organisations whose work strongly aligned with its aims.
