You can apply to The Holywood Trust for a grant if you are a young person, normally resident in Dumfries and Galloway and require financial support to move your life forward in some way.
Our focus is primarily on young people aged 15 - 25 years, however we will consider grants for younger vulnerable children if they are preventative measures in relation to health or social disadvantage, or if a child has an exceptional talent and requires funding to further this.
Examples of the support provided from Holywood Trust:
- purchase household items for a young person leaving care
- contribution towards College and University expenses
- participation in sporting and cultural activities at regional, national or international level
- purchase musical instruments, or sporting equipment
This list is by no means exhaustive. If you are in any doubt, look at the Case Studies, or Questions and Answers section, or contact the Trust, where we will be pleased to speak with you.
If we are unable to give you a grant, we will try and help you to identify other possible sources of funding.
