About Lintel Trust 

Lintel Trust is a Scottish charity working with people and communities connected to social housing. We support practical, community-led projects that help people feel included, connected and able to take part in local life. 

Our work brings together grant funding, partnership working, community benefits and fundraising to create opportunities for people living in social housing communities across Scotland.

Who we are

We work closely with housing associations, social landlords and local authorities, community and charity partners to ensure funding and support reaches projects that can make a practical difference to people’s lives. 

Our Mission

Our mission is to create opportunities for people living in social housing communities to live fulfilled lives. Participation, empowerment, inclusivity and accountability guide how we work and how we make decisions.
