The Glastonbury Trust Vision
The Trust supports community infrastructure in Glastonbury and the surrounding area.
The Trust has a vision for Glastonbury as a centre for innovative and self-sustaining holistic community infrastructure and is happy to have conversations with individuals and organisations that have a focus on this.
The Trust believes in social enterprise. Community organisations should have the intention of becoming economically self-sustaining, so that they are not reliant on grant funding for their existence. Sadly, we cannot support individuals' training or living costs.
The Trust supports community infrastructure in Glastonbury and the surrounding area of Mendip.
This takes the form of:
1. Supporting the purchase or maintenance of community owned buildings, housing or land.
2. Supporting entrepreneurs, creatives, sustainable projects and start-ups by organising community training and workshops.
3. Supporting rents for community organisations.
4. Supporting some start-up costs of eligible community organisations.
5. Supporting networking and information sharing initiatives.
6. Supporting effective community group facilitation.
7. Preserving green spaces for re-wilding projects and natural protection.
