The Adamson Trust Grant

After suspending activities because of Covid-19, the Trust resumed work at the end of July 2020 following the easing of restrictions, and new applications are welcome

The Trust provides financial assistance to help finance holidays, including respite care, for physically and mentally disabled children (aged 3 to 17 years), with preference being given to those locally resident in Scotland.

How Do I Apply?

The application form asks for some detailed information about the child, and also about the planned holiday. It is essential that this is provided.

In mid-2020 the Trustees reduced the number of meetings from four to three a year, reflecting the impact of the pandemic. However, many charities were able to resume running their clubs and outings in 2021 for the first time in 18 months - after what was a particularly difficult time for handicapped children and their carers - and the Trust has reverted to holding four meetings annually. These are at the beginning of February, May, August and November. Applications must be received by December 31 for the February meeting, by March 31 for the May meeting, by June 30 for the August meeting, and by September 30 for the November meeting.

Who Can Apply?

Individual families can apply and, in addition, we accept applications on behalf of groups of children, organisations and other registered charities.
