Activities and Achievements 2025 / 2026
Expenditure: In the year, 30 (13) applications were approved which led to donations totalling £9008 (£5433.00) being awarded to provide for children and young people in need.
Overall, the Fund supported 39 children, young people and families in 2025/2026. These children were all subject to or have recently been subject to a Compulsory Supervision Order. Ten applications were not approved as they failed to meet eligibility criteria or were not sufficiently specific on the spend or were for items the trustees felt were a responsibility of the local authority.
Grants were used to purchase the following: School camps, Family holidays, Family outings, Dance classes, Riding lessons, Mobile phone, Games console, Gym membership
Income: Donations over the year amounted to £6468 (£3814.75). We continue to receive generous donations from past and existing Panel Members, specifically long-standing donors, Messrs Hutton, Brownlee and Timmins, and several unspecified, at their request, donors for which we are extremely grateful.
Notably the fund received particular large donations of £3,000 from the Barcapel Foundation and £800 from the Pleasance Trust
