What Is The Adamson Trust?
The Adamson Trust is a long established Perthshire charity based in Crieff, Perthshire, Scotland.
We are able to give financial help with the cost of holidays or respite breaks for disabled children aged between 3 and 17 with physical, mental or emotional impairments. We can only give help for this purpose.
The Adamson Trust is a small, independent, self-funded charitable organisation based in Crieff, Scotland whose Trustees deliver the wishes of the founding donor, Agnes G Adamson. The charity is registered in Scotland and no Trustees receive remuneration for administering the Trust's funds.
The Trust was constituted in 1949 to assist with part funding of holidays or respite breaks for children aged between 2 years and 17 years who suffer from life limiting physical or mental health conditions. Fresh challenges have forced the charity to evolve, and the Trustees now consider applications on behalf of individuals, groups and other charitable organisations for assistance, awarding a modest sum to those successful applicants.
With finite resources and increasing requests the Trustees currently consider that a maximum of three awards may be provided to individual applicants, including multiple family applicants. Successful applicants cannot re-apply until a calendar year has elapsed from the last award and a previous successful award does not guarantee any future award. It should be noted that the average payment dispensed is currently £250 per application.
Application Process
Requests should be made using the online application form below, with care being taken to provide all the information requested.
The Trustees meet quarterly to consider applications and awards are not normally considered between meetings.
Awards will not be provided for holiday/respite breaks already taken before each specific meeting therefore strict cut off dates for submission of completed requests are applied as follows:
Meeting Date Application Due Date
February 31 December
May 31 March
August 30 June
November 30 September
Data Protection/Fraud Prevention
The Trust complies with UK Data Protection Regulations and all data provided on/with application forms are held securely until considered by the Trustees. Sensitive information is not held by the Trust once decisions have been concluded at the specific quarterly meeting, other than recording of information for the purposes of financial audit and compliance with current OSCR guidance.
The Trust will make payment to a successful applicant by BACS transfer. Trustees require to be satisfied that all criteria have been met before awarding any grant. It is extremely important that ALL information requested is provided otherwise the application is unlikely to be considered.
