## Activities

**Objects:** The promotion of education of Choristers of the Cathedral by the granting of scholarships or bursaries, payable to the School or any financial assistance the Trustees consider appropriate towards activities which will either directly support the learning and development of individual Choristers or support the identification and recruitment of individuals who may benefit from a Chorister education and for such scholarships and bursaries to be tenable by all Choristers for as long as the Sponsors deem appropriate.

**Activities:** This has been a year of less overt activity after 5 years of intense fundraising.  Significant assistance has been provided to several girl choristers enabling them to remain in the choir.  With the consent of The Chairty Commission, the objects of the Trust have been amended so that it can now support both boy and girl choristers.  From 1st August 2011 it is The Wells Cathedral Chorister Trust.
