The Andrew Wemyss Charitable Trust is a Scottish grant-making charity based in Newmills, Dunfermline. Its mission is to relieve poverty, advance education, promote health and wellbeing, and support community development. Grounded in pragmatic, outcome-driven philanthropy, the Trust targets entrenched social and economic disadvantage, fostering sustainable improvements in quality of life for vulnerable groups. It operates without published strategic plans or a founder vision, emphasising trustee-led responsiveness to local and sectoral needs.

While focused primarily on Scotland, the Trust extends its geographic reach to the wider UK or internationally if aligned with its objectives.
