'the advancement of religion','the advancement of citizenship or community development','the advancement of the arts, heritage, culture or science','the provision of recreational facilities, or the organisation of recreational activities, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities or activities are primarily intended'

During 2024 the trustees continued to have in mind the Trust's five principal charitable objects. The main, but not the only, focus during the year has been advancement of the arts and culture. This was achieved by organising dozens of orchestral and choral events, taking place within the Holy Trinity church building in St Andrews, for the benefit of those living in, working in or visiting the local area. The Trust also played a key role in arranging for the Holy Trinity church building to be opened to the public for certain periods during the year.
