Trefoil’s 2024 Grantmaking
Trefoil has had another busy year. In total we awarded £163,391.19 to 107 recipients!
We award funding to a wide range of applicants, all of whom fall into our funding criteria of ‘children and young people in Scotland under the age of 25 who have additional support needs. Over the year, we have heard of the positive impact this funding has had.
“One of my favourite parts of the [project] is meeting new friends... best of all, we can go to Inverness!”
