Grants
The Holywood Trust
If you are a young person living in Dumfries and Galloway and require financial support to move your life forward, the Holywood Trust offers financial grants. These grants are prioritised for young people aged 15 to 25, but they occasionally consider applications from those aged 12 to 14 if the young person is disadvantaged or especially talented/skilled in areas such as sports or the arts.
You can complete the online application on your own, with help from a family member or friend, or even with assistance from a support worker. Applications typically take 4–6 weeks to process.
What do they fund?
- Household items for young people leaving care
- Contributions towards training, skills development, and higher education opportunities
- Support for young people who struggle to participate in clubs and activities due to financial hardship
- Assistance for young people facing difficulties due to exceptional circumstances (e.g., homelessness, substance misuse, health issues, disabilities, criminal justice involvement, or financial hardship)
- Help with driving lessons, provisional licenses, and driving tests
