02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Our five charitable objects still narrate the purpose of the Trust. We do not think there is a substitute for referring to them. However, our main current activity is to enhance community development, particularly within St Andrews, so as to improve the quality of life of those living in, working in or visiting that area.
