As part of our funding Westhill invites projects that it supports to use this section of our website to communicate and promote their work. As well as promotion this can be an ideal way to inspire people, to make links with other organisations, and to show what your project has achieved when you apply for future grant funding. All you need to do is send your information to us, when requested, and then direct people to your website which will have its own domain name, for example: www.westhillendowment.org/Yourprojectname.
