Introducing Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

These groups will provide a platform for those with a shared interest in a specific area, topic or issue.  The WS Society SIGs will be led by members and will benefit from the active contribution of our members.

TREFOIL CELEBRATION

Client Trefoil House surpasses £1,000,000 in grants. 

We are thrilled that since the WS Governance and Charities team took over the administration of Trefoil House (Scottish charity number SC013744) in 2016, the charity has surpassed £1,000,000 in grants! Trefoil’s mission is to support the development of children and young people with additional needs in Scotland, to enable them to maximise their capabilities and achieve as much independence as possible.
