• aged 13-25 living in the SP postcode area including south Wiltshire and parts of Hampshire and Dorset .

• in need of support to further their education, skills and development

• currently unemployed or experiencing financial hardship

We do not give grants for:

• anything that has already been paid for

• reducing or writing off a debt

More About Us

Our average grant award is £200. Where applying for support towards the costs of something beyond the small means available to the Trust, we will consider offering funding towards the costs if there is evidence of wider financial support from other sponsors or agencies.

Love notes ♡

Thank you very much for the grant. I have now returned from my amazing trip to Tanzania where I participated in a project to build a bridge to allow access to the area, and I also helped to fit a much needed solar powered lighting system. Thank you again for all your support in helping make this possible.

Thank you so much for helping me and my daughter Charlie. She really enjoys the Scouts and you have given her the opportunity to go and enjoy herself with other children of her own age camping, fishing, sailing and cooking out and just have fun with other kids. What you do is wonderful and I can’t thank you enough.

Thank you Rose Gale Trust! With the money you provided I have been able to buy a much needed laptop to study CAD/CAM Design at college. I love my course and it is going really well. This would not have been possible without the computer that you helped me to get! Thank you again for your help.
