The current aims of the Trust’s education programme are to enable people to benefit from educational opportunities and to support excellence.
Specifically, the Trust wishes:
- to fund extra-curricular artistic and sporting activities for children and young people
- to nurture ability and talent at all ages
All activities must be undertaken in the UK and the Trust is more likely to fund smaller or medium-sized charities with an annual income of less than £1,000,000.
Education grants are not given to individuals.
Other educational grants may be made from time to time to charities suggested by the Trustees and members of the Trust.
The Trust has previously funded The Access Project, Pimlico Opera (Primary Robins), Armonico Consort, Chance to Shine, Royal School of Needlework, Bishopsland and Birmingham Royal Ballet.
In 2023-2024, the Trust supported ArtHistory Link-Up, Edward Barnsley Educational Trust, BalletLorent, the Linacre Institute, Nucleo, The Aloud Charity, The Talent Tap, Future Talent, Cockpit Arts and the Royal School of Needlework.
