Rose Gale Trust
The Rose Gale Trust is a new organisation for the benefit of young people in and around South Wiltshire.
It has been set up to honour the memory of Rose Gale, who worked with, supported and inspired very many young people during her life.
The aim of the charity is to raise funds to provide small but meaningful grants to young people who might otherwise slip through the net of support from other charities or public funds. Rose Gale Trust also recognises that sometimes funds need to be made available quickly, because not all young people can wait months for the result of an application.
The trustees are consulting with young people to find out what the priorities of Rose Gale Trust should be, but aim to keep the criteria as wide as possible so as not to exclude young people because of their particular individual need, situation, or idea. And, whenever appropriate, trustees and their advisers aim to signpost young people on to others sources of sustainable or long term support.
