Supporting Scotland’s vibrant voluntary sector

The Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations is the membership organisation for Scotland's charities, voluntary organisations and social enterprises. Charity registered in Scotland SC003558. Registered office Caledonian Exchange, 19A Canning Street, Edinburgh EH3 8EG.

Details

Gilly's is a family-founded grant-making organisation, supporting small charities that make a big difference.

All the charities they support are working to improve the lives of disadvantaged children, young people, families and adults, but they do this in their own unique way. Gilly's approach is to identify amazing organisations that aren't necessarily well-known but are shining examples of small charities that are well-managed, committed to providing the best service they can and are successful because they do things just that little bit differently.

Their support isn't just a financial contribution, it's a commitment from Gilly's Trust to learn more about what each charity does and what's needed to move forward and then use this knowledge to identify other ways they can lend a hand.

They can fund running costs of a new or existing service or programme; specific projects designed to provide long-term benefits to significant numbers of individuals.

Eligible organisations must be:

  • Working with children, young people, families or adults who are disadvantaged due to ill-health, disability or circumstance to improve their lives.
  • Committed to the continuous development of your charity and providing support or services in the most effective way possible.
  • Interested in developing a supportive relationship with a small and friendly funder to explore other ways Gilly's Trust can help you to work towards your goals.
