Rotary Club of Scarborough Trust Fund

The Trust supports a broad spectrum of charitable purposes, with a strong emphasis on children and young people, elderly individuals, people with disabilities, and local charities or voluntary bodies. Funding covers project-based services and resources, facilities improvements, open spaces, specialist beneficiary support, and one-off emergency aid. Recent grants have backed youth services, elderly care, health, and social welfare initiatives demonstrating direct community benefit in Scarborough and wider North Yorkshire. Both capital and revenue costs are considered, though unrestricted core funding is not provided.

Eligible applicants are limited to UK-registered charities, community groups, and voluntary bodies with existing relationships to the Trust; unsolicited applications are not accepted. The Trust prioritises small to medium grassroots entities rooted in the local area. There are no formal income thresholds, and there is no religious restriction. Beneficiary groups of particular interest include children and young people, elderly individuals, and people with disabilities.

The Trust does not provide unrestricted core funding. It also does not fund organisations without an existing relationship, as unsolicited applications are not accepted. Funding is directed towards project-based costs and emergency aid rather than ongoing operational expenses.
