Haldane Youth Services Awarded Three Years of Funding from The Robertson Trust

31st July 2026

Haldane Youth Services is thrilled to announce that we have been awarded £57,000 in funding over three years from The Robertson Trust. This significant investment will support our work with children, young people and families across Haldane and surrounding areas in West Dunbartonshire, helping us continue to provide safe, inclusive and meaningful opportunities within our community.

The funding, which will run from August 2026 to August 2029, will strengthen the delivery of our wide range of programmes, including Mini Hoppers, Hop Skip & Jump, Project 7, Ur Turn, holiday activity programmes, youth leadership initiatives and alternative learning opportunities. Through these projects, young people are supported to build confidence, develop new skills, improve wellbeing, create lasting friendships and achieve their full potential.

This renewed investment provides vital stability for our organisation, enabling us to continue delivering high-quality services that respond to the evolving needs of local families. The funding will also contribute towards maintaining essential staffing roles, ensuring children and young people benefit from trusted relationships, consistent support and positive experiences throughout their journey with Haldane Youth Services.

For more than 20 years, Haldane Youth Services has been at the heart of the local community, supporting generations of young people and their families. We understand the challenges many families face and are committed to ensuring that financial circumstances are never a barrier to participation. The support from The Robertson Trust will allow us to continue creating opportunities that are accessible, inclusive and responsive to local need.

"We are extremely grateful to The Robertson Trust for their continued support and belief in our work. This funding gives us the confidence to plan for the future, invest in our people and continue providing life-changing opportunities for children and young people. The impact of this award will be felt not only by our participants, but by families and the wider community for years to come."

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to The Robertson Trust for investing in our vision and helping us continue to make a positive difference. Together, we are building brighter futures, stronger communities and greater opportunities for children and young people across West Dunbartonshire.
