The charities represented range from small to Scotland-wide organisations and Scottish branches of UK bodies. The causes too are wide-ranging, from health and disability, to education, arts and environment.\r\nOur events typically feature presentations from funding representatives of both small and large Trusts, as well as Statutory bodies, from Scotland and occasionally south of the border. Grant writing can often be a lonely business! Attendees have told us they appreciate the opportunity for informal networking, sharing issues and celebrating successes with like-minded fundraisers.\r\nWe also arrange at least one skills workshop each year, such as story writing or using major donor techniques in Trust fundraising.\r\nYou can email us for more information and/or to be added to our mailing list: \r\nScotlandTrusts@institute-of-fundraising.org.uk" } ] } ] ```
