Investing In Community Leadership

Holywell Trust works in partnership with Fermanagh Trust and the Rural Community Network to deliver this five-year programme, which aims to nurture the next waves of leadership in the sector in the West of Northern Ireland.

Holywell Trust’s Future Leaders project is our component of this ambitious initiative.

‘Investing In Community Leadership’ is generously supported by the National Lottery Community Fund.

The Junction

Perhaps our deepest partnership is with fellow good-relations organisation, The Junction. We share core funding, being joint-funded by the Community Relations Council, a unique situation to the best of our knowledge. This demonstrates ours and The Junction’s commitment to putting our money where our mouths are!

Holywell Trust and The Junction believe it is possible for the community and voluntary sector to work deeply and strategically, and pool our resources, without “hiding our homework” and working in competition against each other.
