Charitable giving and community service has always been a focus of the Club’s activities. The AWCCS contributes to a variety charities in Scotland and internationally. We fundraise on a two year basis for a local Scottish charity, chosen by the members, and the international FAWCO Charity Target Project. You can read more about our current charities below.
AWCCS local charity 2025-2027
Organisation: Amina MWRC
Location: Central Scotland
Amina MWRC project supports Muslim and minority ethnic women across Central Scotland. Some of the women they serve have limited rights, no access to public funds, and are trapped in abuse with no safe escape. Others may be eligible for certain support, but still face isolation, hardship, and barriers to services. Referrals have surged, leaving the charity stretched to its limits.
Target Project 6
Power Her Path:
Empowering Trafficking Survivors & Vulnerable Migrants to Thrive
We are raising funds to support Power Her Path, FAWCO’s Target Project 6.0, delivered in partnership with Pacific Links Foundation. This initiative advances human rights by helping women and girls who have survived human trafficking, forced labor, and forced marriage rebuild their lives and achieve long-term independence.
Vietnam remains a major source country for human trafficking, with marginalized women and girls – particularly those from ethnic minority communities – facing heightened risks due to poverty, limited education, and lack of economic opportunities. Today, more than 70% of trafficking survivors report being recruited through deceptive social media schemes. While some survivors receive immediate assistance, many lack the long-term support needed to safely reintegrate into society, leaving them vulnerable to re-exploitation.
Power Her Path provides a comprehensive, survivor-centered approach that combines immediate protection with sustainable pathways to recovery and self-sufficiency. The project will fund reintegration services, including emergency safety support, health care, legal assistance, psychosocial counselling, vocational training, and economic resilience programmes.
Key innovations include a 24/7 Survivor Support Line, training for frontline responders such as police, border guards, and community members, a new community-based housing and support network, and the creation of the Rise.Hub Drop-In Centre. The project will also launch an Entrepreneurship Pathway, offering business training, mentorship, and seed grants to help survivors start and grow small businesses.
