Our Vision

The Betty Ross Trust is a Registered Scottish Charity. Our Charity Number is SCO44612.

The Betty Ross Trust has been established to provide financial assistance for such charitable purposes as the Trustees think appropriate or to such individuals, charitable institutions, societies, foundations or funds,  with the primary purpose being  the relief of those aged 60 and over, in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability or other disadvantage in the Perthshire area. 

This can be through the provision of funding or other assistance, such as equipment and help so that people remain in their own home for as long as possible. Funding and help is available both to organisations and individuals. 

The maximum grant award is £5,000 with average grants being in the region of £3,000.  Supporting documentation will be required.

The Trust will consider funding equipment such as a hospital bed for the home, special chairs and the provision of partial funding for the adaptation of bathrooms. Other necessary adaptations or equipment would be considered.
