Achievements
Even in its relatively short life so far, the Trust has been able to support a wide variety of charities and good causes.
Students from our rural area have gained from many valuable experiences, and have even been helped to undertake projects overseas - in places from Antarctica to Tanzania.
Adults have been helped to meet personal challenges ranging from rowing the Atlantic to the day-to-day challenges of living with a disability.
In establishing a bursary with Atlantic College, the Trust will help young people from our locality to attend this world-leading college in Wales, which aims to provide a first-class education and promote international understanding.
The Trust is also proud to have established a Saturday Club in the area for young people wishing to engage in a young enterprise activity or in learning practical skills, such as car mechanics and welding.
In supporting visits of Ensemble Cymru to primary and secondary schools, pupils have had the opportunity to see live performance of classical music and engage in master-classes with concert musicians.
And, in supporting Film 15, young people have been given the opportunity to work alongside professional film makers, and be exposed to script writing, acting,camera, sound, lighting, editing and all aspects of film production. The workshop format inspires young people to make their own films, develops their ideas and encourages them to go beyond anything they previously thought possible.
The Trust is particularly proud to have been able to support initiatives which, without an award from the Trust, would simply not have been able to go ahead.
