William Heughan Associated Special Trust Dalbeattie
For the past 56 years since his death, the William Heughan Trust has benefitted his home town of Dalbeattie and the surrounding area.
William was born in Water Street, one of 15 children of the blacksmith and became a successful world famous opera singer, cattle breeder and philanthropist.
In accordance with his wishes, the Trustees have awarded funding to many projects and causes, eg. the school prizes presented in his name in The Heughan Hall, the mourners’ shelter in the cemetery, the Dalbeattie Museum, the William Heughan Memorial choir, awards at Christmas time to the older residents, refurbishing the playground and tennis club, a new van for the Day Centre and also the Birchvale Theatre project.
The Trustees wish to raise the profile of the Trust and invite applications for our consideration. These must meet the Trust’s objectives, namely to support:
- Old people who are natives of Dalbeattie
- Pupils of Dalbeattie schools
- Youth organisations in Dalbeattie
- Other charitable causes in Dalbeattie and surrounding area.
Applications can be made via letter to Hall Baird Solicitors in Castle Douglas or via an email request which is found under the ‘Contact’ tab on the Trust’s website:
