Helping the
Scottish Community

The Weir Charitable Trust aims to support Scottish-based community groups and small charities to provide services across Scotland to help the Scottish community. These groups and charities are likely to have found it difficult to access funds elsewhere.

It does not fund individuals; commercial activity; research; educational establishments; governing bodies; public sector bodies; one off events; large capital projects; Community Councils, PTAs or Active Schools Activities; or pilot projects, nor can it provide sponsorship.

The Trust will consider funding specific activities and services in sport, recreational facilities, animal welfare, health and cultural projects (see “What we fund“) to improve the quality of life for people, either through a particular field of expertise or via a local community. In  exceptional circumstances, the Trust will consider applications for funds in excess of £25,000.
