Grants are intended to promote and sustain any organised tenant group by provision of an annual administrative core funding grant to cover day to day running costs. Occasional project grants may be paid to individual groups or area forums for the purpose of match funding any external funding or for a specific project which forms part of the tenant participation action plan and these will be considered on a case by case basis.

The Trust aims to aid the prevention or relief of poverty, by providing accommodation. Furthermore, it aims to 'relieve those in need by reason of age, ill health and disability by making available financial assistance for medical treatment, for suitable alternative accommodation or for providing assistance so that the individual in need may remain in his/her/their current accommodation, which might otherwise have been unsuitable'. The Trust will consider applications from men and married couples, as well as individual ladies. The Trust is also able to offer support and donations to other charitable organisations.

The aim of the charity is to grant aid to charities seeking to raise the quality of life, particularly for those who are young, disadvantaged, deprived, disabled or elderly. Grants are usually confined to projects in England and Wales but they make a few grants each year to Scotland. Salary or core running costs are not usually supported.

SafeDeposits Scotland Charitable Trust is a grant-giving charity aimed at promoting education, training and best practice in Scotland’s private rented sector. The Trust believes those actively involved in the sector will have innovative and creative ideas to ensure it is the best that it can be for years to come. It funds projects which promote and facilitate education, training and best practice for landlords, letting agents and tenants. This could include: projects that could help landlords manage their business as well as providing the best practice in customer service; practical solutions to ensure all tenants know their rights and are aware of their responsibilities as tenant; suggestions on how to resolve disputes in ways which may be more effective than going to court.

The trust has general charitable purposes, with a preference for the West of Scotland.
