Supporting Scotland’s vibrant voluntary sector

Details

The Cervus Trust is interested in supporting charitable activities under the following themes:

  • Food Poverty: projects that are empowering and help people to help themselves e.g. community growing projects rather than foodbanks.
  • Mental Health: projects targeting those with depression and anxiety, support for those who have experienced adverse childhood experiences (ACES), projects that help to develop emotional resilience; projects supporting carers with their mental health.
  • The Arts: using arts, including music tuition, as an enabling tool to develop skills, confidence, and emotional wellbeing.
  • Education: projects which involve outdoor education and play are preferred. School-based initiatives will be a low priority unless they involve non-statutory provision and involve the wider community.
  • Disadvantaged families and children: support for projects that will help families and children to thrive.
