The Board of Turning Point Scotland was aware that the majority people who use our services did not have the means to realise their dreams and aspirations without some form of support.
So in January 2004 the Make it Happen Fund was created using a grant of £5000 from the Board. The purpose of the Fund was to make small awards to the people we support so that their dreams could come true.
Since its inception the Fund has been used by people from each of our services throughout Scotland.
Everyone’s dream is unique and special to them however some of the more interesting ones in recent months have allowed people to record a CD of their songs; take a day trout fishing; purchase a remote controlled model aeroplane; ride on the Jacobite train to Mallaig and to take a series of Arabic lessons.
Each year the Make it Happen Fund budget is replenished by a grant from the Board and by monthly voluntary contributions made by staff members.
This much needed resource continues to make people’s dreams come true as it has done for the last seven years.
