The Yeovil Young Achievers Trust is a registered charity founded in 2008, following an initiative by the Rotary Club of Yeovil, to benefit young people residing in Yeovil. The object of The Trust is to offer support to help them to further their studies, sport, art or citizenship and achieve higher standards, qualifications or standing in society.
Applications will be considered by the Trustees for financial or other more practical support from the young people of Yeovil. Applications will have to demonstrate an extraordinary ability, determination or courage in overcoming difficulty and show absolute commitment to studying, learning and improving their skills.
The Trustees meet monthly to consider applications.
The Yeovil Young Achievers Trust welcomes new members and donations from both Industry and the general public.
