Description

To provide support and aid to women who are resident in Scotland and are of good character and are single and require assistance by reason of financial hardship, age or ill health in the interest of the general public benefit, AND WE do hereby declare that (in accordance with the rule or practice adopted by the Society) the class of single women forming proper objects of the bounty of the Society shall consist of women who are unmarried, widowed, divorced or separated (by formal separation agreement or in terms of a Court decree) from their spouses or civil partners and who are not 'co-habitant' as defined in section 25 of the Family Law (Scotland) Act 2006 including any statutory modifications or reenactment thereof for the time being in force. For the avoidance of doubt, women who have entered into a formal contract of civil partnership and are not separated from their civil partner shall not be held to be single. AND WE do further declare that support and aid may be provided to women resident outwith Scotland who were beneficiaries of the Society at the time of the granting of these presents.
