Betty Ross Trust Grant

The Betty Ross Trust is a registered Scottish charity that provides financial or other assistance to charitable institutions, societies, foundations or funds, with the primary purpose of aiding those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability or other disadvantage in the Perthshire area. The Trust supports individuals to remain in their own homes for as long as possible through the provision of funding or other assistance, such as equipment and adaptations. The Trust will consider funding applications for equipment such as hospital beds for the home, special chairs, and the provision of funding for the adaptation of bathrooms. Other necessary adaptations or equipment would also be considered on a case-by-case basis.
