Howard Lake | 16 January 2020 | News
Ulster Garden Villages (UGV), one of Northern Ireland’s biggest charitable trusts, has introduced a new application procedure and a new application form.
Applicants must now fill in an eligibility quiz to release the application form, which has been reformatted to make it easier to complete and save information. UGV gave grants of nearly £1.5 million in 2018.
UGV’s funding priorities remain the same: health, disadvantaged sections of society, young people, culture and heritage, and environment.
