Carterton Educational Trust
Did you know that a Trust exists in Carterton to help local organisations and
individuals with small grants for educational purposes? The Trust was set up in
1994 to try to provide some help to people in the town undertaking educational
or sporting pursuits.
Many such trusts exist in villages and small towns in the area and they either
have a substantial capital sum invested, providing a good amount of interest
each year, or they have a regular source of income such as rental from property.
The trustees of the Carterton Educational Trust are still working hard, after
more than twenty years, to make similar provision for Carterton that will be
sustainable into the future. We are always keen to hear from any company or
individual who might consider making a donation or leaving a legacy to the
Trust. The Chairman, Mr Geoff Clifford, 01608 811006, or the Secretary, Mrs Tan
Marchant, 01993 841060, would be delighted to hear from you.
Meanwhile, we can offer small grants to those involved in educational courses
or sporting activities who live, work or were educated in Carterton. Previous
applicants have included degree students seeking help with the purchase of
books or other materials; support for the purchase of
instruments for students of music; new equipment for
playgroups or sports groups; or materials
for extra-curricular activities at schools
where funds are not available from
other sources.
