THE TRUST'S OBJECTIVES

The Whitchurch Welfare Trust was founded to provide financial help, mainly to residents of Whitchurch who may be suffering hardship or distress, including the elderly, infirm or disabled.

The Trust is funded from the generous bequests of the benefactors shown above.

The trustees work closely with local organizations, such as the Churches, schools and the Citizens Advice Bureau to try to identify individuals who may need help.

YOUNG PEOPLE and STUDENTS

The trustees are particularly keen to help young people and mature students entering further education or training courses, who may require financial assistance. A fund has been set up called "The Richard Woollaston Bursary Fund", to meet such needs.
