Apply for support through the George Crombie Trust

If you're experiencing hardship, or someone you know is, because of age, ill health or disability, you can apply for support from a trust we administer.

The George Crombie Trust is a charity registered in Scotland (SC015407). It was established in 1949 to, amongst other aims, provide grants to help relieve poverty: helping people living in Aberdeen or Aberdeenshire to pay for medical treatment; find alternative suitable accommodation; or to stay in their own home if it's proving hard for them to do so because of age, ill health or disability.

The trust also provides grants to organisations and has, in the past, supported the likes of housing associations and mental health charities.

During the course of the last two years, the trust has awarded grants totalling £90,000.
