02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

The Trustees have opted to make donations to those organisations they feel require most support and whose purposes fall within the spectrum of the Trust Deed and within the Trustees favoured areas of support. The Trustees preference is to make grants to UK charities where the the grant will make a significant difference to a specific project and where the funds are applied to a particular project rather than the organisation's general expenditure. The Trust has investments which produce income to support the donations and expenses incurred in the Trust.
