MacRobert Trust Grants Programme.

The MacRobert Trust, which makes grants to registered charities in the United Kingdom (but preference is given to registered charities in Scotland), has announced that the next application deadline is the 31st May 2016. The MacRobert Trust makes grants in the areas of Services and Sea; Education and Training; Children and Youth; Science, Engineering and Technology; Agriculture and Horticulture; and Tarland and the Local Area. Grants can range between £5,000 and £25,000 and occasionally the Trustees make a recurring grant of up to three years. In addition a small grants programme facilitates awards of up to £5,000.

Previous grants awarded by the Trust include a grant of £15,000 over three years to Life Cycle UK towards ‘Bike Generation', a Bristol project which aims to make youngsters more independent and less isolated by teaching them new skills; and a £15,000 grant to CatZero to tackle low educational achievement, youth crime, drug and alcohol abuse, poor health and lack of alternative employment and training for young people in Hull.
