Building Change Trust Funding

gerardandmairead@mac.com — 2010-12-07T20:16:09+00:00

Holywell Trust has been successful in securing resources from Building Change Trust to further the work of the Walled City Community Partnership (WCCP).

The funding will enable the WCCP to deepen the commitment of the current partner organisations to the WCCP project and the ongoing building development. The funding will allow Holywell Trust to lead up discussions and promote:

Other partnership arrangements that are likely to be included in the ever-widening circle of organisations working together;
Over the next 18 months interaction between organisations will be encouraged so that by the time the new building is ready it will be the hub of a series of interconnecting relationships and activities.

This interconnected work needs constant and committed ‘servicing’ in terms of clearly managed relationship building, clarity of communications, networking opportunities, workshops/seminars and residentials.

These processes will be managed by Holywell Trust to ensure direction and cohesion. The next 18-24 months are critical. The various energies need the overall articulation and focus provided by the thinking behind Holywell Trust Diversecity.

A key element of the funding secured will be used to document the development of the Walled City Community Partnership which will result in publications, in various formats, that will help to share our learning with others in the community and voluntary sector both in Northern Ireland and further afield.
