Promoting Go in the UK and beyond
Support for British Youth Go
|
Until 2001, two charitable trusts provided financial support for young British Go
players, The Castledine-Barnes TrustThe Castledine-Barnes Trust is the main source of support for needy youth players in the UK. The trust is supported by donations. The main source of donations is from tournament organisers who kindly donate profits, but individual donations are also welcome. Donations should be passed to Francis Roads as detailed on the trust's web page. Applications for financial support, for British Go players under 18 years old, may be made as detailed on the trust's web page. They should include reasons for need, and details of what funds can be raised locally. The trust will not normally make 100% grants for any purpose. All details are treated confidentially. Applications on behalf of people who wish to remain anonymous may be made through a third party of good standing. The trustees are Francis Roads (francis at jfroads.demon.co.uk), Toby Manning (toby.manning at ntlworld.com) and Sue Paterson (suepat at freeuk.com). The (Former) Brian Castledine TrustBrian Castledine was a strong young British Go player. He died in a cliff fall in 1979. He was BGA President at the time. A trust fund was then set up in his memory. The Castledine Trust's purpose was to encourage go activity in by UK players under 18 years of age. The most common way in which it does this was by subsidising capital expenditure (e.g. equipment and books). The trustees were Francis Roads, and Toby Manning, managing trustee.
