Stratford-upon-Avon Town Trust

Grants

[ Grant Case Studies | Grant Awards ]

The funds the Town Trust distributes can only be spent in line with the Trust’s objects, laid down by the Charity Commission. These objects are, within the town of Stratford:

to relieve need, hardship and distress

to relieve sickness, disability, old age and infirmity

to provide or support the provision of facilities for education, including the
advancement of learning and knowledge

to provide or support facilities for recreation and other leisure-time occupation

to advance the Christian religion

to further any other charitable purposes

Working within these guidelines, the trustees decide which projects and activities will receive grants and what size those grants should be. Each application is considered carefully and the trustees seek to achieve the maximum benefit for the people of Stratford from the funds available.

Schools, arts organisations, community groups, local churches and many small charities are all supported. Major grants have included £100,000 to the High School to assist in the provision of the ICT network for the new school; £100,000 pledged to provide an all-weather athletics track at the Community Sports Centre; and support for the long-term funding of repairs to Holy Trinity Church and organisations such as the Citizen’s Advice Bureau.
