The Galbraith Trust is once again inviting applications from local voluntary and community groups for grants from the charity. The Trust was set up in 2001 from the estate of Ian Galbraith, the former city hardware store owner. Forms and guidelines are available from the CVS (see below) and the next closing date is Friday 25th January 2008 for decisions in February.
Since July 2007, 24 Local Charities shared almost twenty thousand pounds from the Galbraith Trust. Grants varied from £200 to £1850.00 and have included grants which support the work of The Overton Players, North West Children’s Support Group & Cockerham Hand Bell Ringers. Other grants have enabled groups to purchase equipment, go on coach trips, and hold community events & Festivals.
