The Trustees make grants to charitable organisations in accordance with their grant making policy. This policy centres on the principle of the furtherance of education of people with an emphasis on young people in all parts of the world and the encouragement of a Christian ethic. The trustees tend to favour smaller charities where there may be a particular need, for example in deprived urban areas. There is often a personal contact so that the trustees can monitor the use of the funds being made available to the organisations. The charity structure allows for applications to be considered on their merits at Trustee meetings, where the Trustees undertake a review of the investment portfolio managed on the Trustees behalf with their advisors and consider what funds can be made available to support grants and campaigns.
