Support for Organisations
Info
The Holywood Trust assists organisations working with or
for young people in Dumfries and Galloway. It does this by
means of secondment of staff, management and administrative
support, assisting with fund-raising activity as well as direct
financial support.
The support provided by the Trust has assisted youth clubs
to start, buildings and equipment to be built/acquired, group
development activities to take place and for training to be
provided to those working with young people. The Trustees
are particularly interested in helping to fill gaps in provision
and to support innovative ideas.
See our Question and Answers section below; any other queries
can be discussed with staff. Contact
the Trust offices where our staff will be pleased to help.
Questions and Answers
How much can my organisation apply for?
Financial support, if offered, will generally be within the range of a few hundred pounds up to three thousand pounds. The level of support will be determined by various factors, but the main ones are the extent to which the funding will address the priorities determined by the Trustees (Trust staff will be able to advise on current priorities) and/or fill a gap in local provision. Other factors include the amount of other funding that will be made available (ie. leverage), particularly from outwith the region, the number and background of the young people who will benefit from the organisation's work and other demands for funding.

How long will it take for my application to be considered?
The Trustees usually meet every three months - normally March, June, September and December, but will sometimes consider urgent applications in between meetings (our form asks for you to state any deadline to which you are working).

Can I make more than one application?
We generally only make one award for a particular project, but the Trustees are interested in supporting activities which are innovative and show high quality rather than "quantity".

Who decides whether I receive some support from the Trust?
