Why the Trust needs your help….

February 2009

The EWGA Trust Fund is the English Women’s Golf Association’s own fund for helping young golfers who are under 21 OR in full-time education. The objective of the Trust Fund is to help young golfers in need, with the cost of purchasing essential equipment, tuition, accommodation and travel. It is not necessary for a girl to have a low handicap to apply for a grant.

The EWGA Trust Management Committee meets three times a year to consider the applications and award the grants.

Money for the Trust Fund comes from donations by individuals, ladies’ sections of Golf Clubs and County Associations. In addition money is raised through the sale of merchandise and from fundraising activities organised by the EWGA. These include initiatives such as the Trust Stableford competition, where club golfers pay 2p per point in a stableford competition in order to raise money for the Trust.

The EWGA Trust has supported countless girl golfers for over 25 years and helped them gain great enjoyment from the game. Some have gone on to play on the Ladies European Tour. However, over recent years, the Trust’s income has fallen and it has been forced to cut back on the grants it makes.

Sally Goulds, who chairs the Trust’s management committee, appealed to England’s golfers: "Please help us to continue to support girls who are just beginning their golf and need a little help along the way."
