Welcome to our new website!

In August 2024, we launched our new website to coincide with our re-branding as 'Gilly's' - the new working name of The Gillian Stevenson Charitable Trust CIO.

Over the last 18 months we have been focused on achieving our goal of being a personable, supportive and effective funder. Feedback from our grantee charities shows that the hard work is paying off and that what we are doing works! By changing our working name to 'Gilly's' we hope that this better reflects our personal approach to providing support compared to our more formal registered name.

As well as our new working name, the new website gives more detailed information about the type of organisations and activities that we are looking to support. This is intended to provide clearer eligibility criteria for potential applicants and therefore reduce the number of unsuccessful submissions.

Finally, there is a section on our new focus charity - this was introduced alongside the existing small grants programme as part of our development strategy to ensure that what we do at Gilly's is always much more than simply providing a grant.
