Our latest awards are now available, with £1.8M awarded to 48 organisations who are working to alleviate poverty and trauma across #Scotland. View the full list of awards below, including our Award in Focus with ACVO TSI's Aberdeen Cash First project 👇 www.therobertsontrust.org.uk/news/1-880-0...

Award in focus: "The Aberdeen Cash First project goes beyond simply providing money for food. At its heart is the principles of choice, ensuring individuals have the power to make decisions that best support their own wellbeing. The Cash First model is rooted in a human-rights framework, which emphasises dignity, autonomy, and the right to an adequate standard of living. By providing direct financial support to address the root cases of food insecurity, individuals' wider rights are strengthened rather than restricted." Amy Duncan, Cash First Network Co-ordinator, ACVO.
