Ulster Garden Villages, one of Northern Ireland's largest independent grant-making trusts has launched its own website as it reaches the age of 60.

UGV booklet coverUlster Garden Villages is sixty years old in 2006 and for the first time has launched its own website. The website provides summary information on the history of Ulster Garden Villages together with access to their current guidelines, application form and contact details. The development by the charity will be greatly welcomed by organisations wishing to learn more about one of Northern Ireland's largest independent funding bodies.

Ulster Garden Villages Limited was established under the Industrial and Provident Societies Acts (Northern Ireland) in 1946 with the principal objective of providing good quality housing and associated amenities for the disadvantaged and aged.

In 1983 the Committee of Management of Ulster Garden Villages took the necessary steps to convert the Society into a charity and empowered it to make grants for general charitable purposes.

The Society primarily allocates funds to projects within Northern Ireland that will have a positive impact in Northern Ireland.

The website provides information on who the current trustees are, as well as some short case studies of previous recipients of grants. The UGV publication "Making a Difference can also be ordered from the website."
