The charity Trustees are directed to pay or apply the funds of the charity for the benefit or furtherance of such purposes, objects or institutions, charitable in law as the Trustees in their absolute discretion shall determine. The Trustees have opted for a policy of making donations to those organisations they feel require most support and whose purposes fall within the spectrum of the Trust Deed. The Trust's ability to make meaningful donations is reliant on income and investment returns from its investment portfolio and where and when possible, the occasional donation from the Settlors. Due to significant existing commitments for funding, the Trustees are not considering any unsolicited applications until further notice.
