Red House Home Trust

The Red House Home Trust was constituted in 1931 and is a Scottish charity (Number SC015748) that provides grants to promote education and training of young persons. With the closure of the original Home, the Trust Deed was revised and remaining funds were invested, with income used to pay out grants. The Trust's objectives are to promote education and training of young persons under the age of 22 who are in need of care, are living in deprived circumstances or otherwise require assistance in adjusting to independent living. In practice, grants are made to individuals and groups for the education and training of young persons under the age of 22 residing in East Lothian. Around £10,000 is available for distribution each year, with individual grants ranging from £180 to £1,500. The Trustees normally meet three times a year to review applications and agree grants.
