[email protected] Introduction The Trust was registered on 26 January 1994 under the terms of the Will of Mrs Violet Eveson. The residue of Mrs Eveson’s estate of just over £49 million formed the initial capital of the Trust. Organisations are eligible to submit applications for support if their application falls within the objects and policies of this Trust which are described on the next page. The Trustees are unable to consider applications that do not fall within the objects and policies of this Trust. The majority of the Trust's grants are given to registered charities. However, the Trust also provides some support to statutory bodies directly or indirectly for projects for which the statutory body has no available statutory funding. The Trustees' preference is for enhancement of services rather than for provision of what they consider to be basic needs. Before making grants to statutory bodies, the Trust obtains written confirmation from the statutory body that no public funding is available towards the need for which application has been made. During the year ended 31 March 2018 the Trust made 324 grants (2017: 290 grants) totalling £2,428,480 (2017: £2,015,864).
