All about the Trust
The Trust is an independent body and was established in 1995 by members of the Chipping Campden Town Council. The Trust is a registered charity and was established to be a stand-alone organisation. It relies on donations, covenants and bequests to provide financial support to charitable projects within its aims.
To date the majority of the Trust’s donations originate from legacies of the Tryphena Wood Bequest and Fred Badger Trusts. Both of these funds are invested by the Trustees to specifically support the elderly within our community.
Most recently the Trust has benefited from a very generous donation from the Brathwaite Trust. This particular fund has allowed the Trustees to support projects for young people and associated organisations.
Braithwaite House was bought by the Royal British Legion for service men returning to Chipping Campden after the War. In 2014 it became a social club. In 2018 the property was sold with profits from the sale donated to the Trust sharing similar aims and objects as the Braithwaite Trust.
The Trust’s object is to promote, for the public benefit and through the provision of financial assistance (“grants”), any charitable purpose for the improvement of educational, leisure, recreational and supportive facilities within the Chipping Campden community area; with especial regard to the needs of the young, the elderly, the disadvantaged and disabled.
Donations and legacies provide the main capital reserves necessary for long-term commitments to support grants. Gifts and bequests will be added to the Trust’s capital to provide, in perpetuity, income for distribution (“grants”). The Trust welcomes all donations to continue the help in supporting our community.
The Trust has approximately a hundred members whose donations kindly contribute to the funds available for grants.
