Since its launch on May 1, the hardship fund has so far raised £301,598 for Aberdeen-based registered charities to help individuals, families and communities across the city experiencing severe financial hardship as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Barney Crockett, The Lord Provost of Aberdeen, said: “The Trust is once again delighted to be able to provide funding to so many local charities to help those individuals and families in our communities in desperate need as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We want to be able to offer a fifth round of funding however that will be wholly dependent on further donations. These continue to be challenging times for everyone, and I would urge the people of Aberdeen and local businesses to spare a thought for those less fortunate and in desperate need, and if you can, please donate to this very worthy cause.”
