Partner Charities
The Trust works with and supports three partner charities over a three year period.  The theme for 2007-2010 is 'At Risk' and the partner charities have been selected on the basis of providing innovative projects to support some of those most at risk at home and abroad, with an emphasis on protection of those involved and a focus
on prevention of further issues.
The current partner charities for 2007-2010 are Coram; FARM-Africa and Samaritans.
