The Scottish Children’s Lottery Trust has launched the applications for Cost-of-Living Crisis Fund.
Scottish Children’s Lottery Trust (registered charity number SC046177) is a Scottish Charity and society lottery operating as part of the regular Scottish Children’s Lottery. Scottish Children’s Lottery Trust operates as a “grant giving” charity, believing that every child in Scotland deserves the very best start in life, with the aim of ensuring that children and young people in Scotland have the opportunity to grow and develop to their full potential, no matter the circumstances they were born into.
They seek to support projects and activities in Scotland, with the aspiration of alleviating the impact of poverty or financial hardship, social exclusion, relative/multiple deprivation and disability or illness.
Eligible Projects or Activities
- Projects or activities that they will support will:
- The organisation applying should be a registered charity in Scotland with a charity bank account. It should also return annual accounts.
- The money is for a project delivered in Scotland.
- The charities accounts are up to date.
- The project or activity will work with the most vulnerable children and young people who are at a demonstrably high risk of being negatively impacted by poverty.
- Demonstrate involvement of individuals and communities that understand and have experience of the issues that poverty presents.
- Work outside, or supplementary to, statutory responsibilities
- Clearly demonstrate positive impacts and can deliver end of grant analysis reports.
- They normally ask for charities to have a level of match funding in place to support their project or activity. This is not required for an application in this funding window.
- They normally restrict charities who are in receipt of an active grant award from Scottish Children’s Lottery Trust (Chance to Flourish, Connect, Study or Succeed) applying again until their current grant programme has been completed. This window is slightly different and those charities who have an active grant award are also allowed to apply.
