Comment: | The Summerfield Charitable Trust was established by Ronald Summerfield, a Cheltenham antique dealer, shortly before his death in 1989. The board of five Trustees has discretion as to which charitable uses to apply the funds. Charities applying to the Trust must either be based in Gloucestershire, or they must be engaged in a project that is of specific benefit to residents of the county. Viewed especially favourably are:
+ the arts, museums and the built heritage;
+ the environment and natural heritage;
+ community work;
+ education, sport and recreation;
+ vulnerable and disadvantaged sectors of society.
Individuals are very rarely supported. They must be residents of Gloucestershire. Trustees request individuals use a specialist charity to sponsor their application. |
