Causes We Support

Making a meaningful difference where it matters most—supporting families, communities, and individuals across Scotland who need it most.

JMA Partnerships

Over the past 10 years, we have established partnerships that are making a difference for local people—paying for facilities so that groups could come together and helping services in our communities to continue their vital work.
