**Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland is extending its services by offering a management
service for other grantmaking trusts.**

For example, it is providing a management and assessment service for Cattanach Trust
to cover the trust manager’s maternity leave period. Cattanach Trust, which provides
grants to charities in Scotland working with children in their early years, appointed
the Foundation initially to provide the cover for six months.

The Foundation will manage the grant-making process for Cattanach, assessing grant
applications and evaluating funded projects.

This extension of its services is part of [Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland](http://www.ltsbfoundationforscotland.org.uk)‘
s strategy to set up a social enterprise to generate additional income from opportunities
such as this. It plans to offer both short term support, such as for maternity leave
cover or to help grantmakers clear bottlenecks, and long term support for funders,
such as providing an audit to help an organisation aiming to change or improve its
activity.

Mary E Craig, Strategic Advisor at the Foundation, said:

> “We are delighted to have been commissioned by Cattanach Trust to provide this
> service. The Foundation has gathered significant skills and expertise over its
> 30 year history and we want to share that with others in our sector.
> “Our aim is not just to be the best grant-maker we can be but to work alongside
> others so we can all be the best grant-makers we can be. We aim to provide a first
> class service to anyone who might require our support and input, based on our 
> core values of relationships, integrity, leadership and independence.”
