In particular, its aim was to offer small grants to groups, agencies and projects working for the common good of all people in need.

Now under the patronage of St Nicholas, the Trust has adopted the name St Nicholas Care Fund.

The Fund encourages applications from community groups, voluntary organizations, charities and other bodies tackling social need.

Areas covered are the City of Glasgow; the districts of East and West Dunbartonshire; North and South Lanarkshire; Renfrewshire; East Renfrewshire and Inverclyde; and that part of Argyll and Bute District around Helensburgh and the Gareloch.
