Our strategy is to reduce and prevent poverty and trauma in Scotland. In recognising the risks of the climate emergency, and its disproportionate impact on those from low-income backgrounds and other disadvantaged groups, we know that we have a responsibility to act. As a funder and an investor, we must do what we can to address the climate emergency through our own actions and supporting those of our grant holders

Our Social Impact Investment (SII) plan was approved by our Board in March 2023, creating an additional set of tools and resources to help us achieve our mission.
