THE FERMANAGH TRUST

The Fermanagh Trust, Fermanagh's Community Foundation, is dedicated to creating a partnership of donors, non-profit making organisations and the community, to find solutions to the pressing community needs in Fermanagh.

Airtricity, the renewable energy development division of Scottish and Southern Energy, has presented £25,000 to local community groups in Tyrone and Fermanagh from its 2009 Community Funds for wind farms in the region. The presentations were made in association with The Fermanagh Trust, Fermanagh's Community Foundation.

On Thursday, 30 April, Enniskillen YouthBank, which is hosted by Fermanagh Trust, hosted a Celebration Event at Fermanagh House. Enniskillen YouthBank is a unique project which is run by young people for young people. It is a grantmaking committee made up of a group of 16 – 25 year olds from Fermanagh.

2009 got off to a fantastic start for eighteen year old Chelsey Wilson with the news that Chelsey had received a Greg Turley Bursary award.

  Community and Voluntary Organisations from across Fermanagh have benefited thanks to a series of grant awards in recent months.

 

A number of environmental and youth based projects received a welcome boost when grants were awarded to projects in the Belleek and Garrison areas of County Fermanagh close to the Callagheen Wind Farm, explained Joanna McVey, Chairman of the Fermanagh Trust, announcing the awards.  ‘‘We are delighted to support a wide range of projects through the Callagheen Wind Farm Fund with the support of Scottish Power, including a number of schools and local community based groups.’’
