Abbey Charitable Trust

The trustees are committed to supporting local communities, particularly in those areas where Abbey has a significant presence. Priorities for 2004 include supporting disadvantaged people through:

  • Education and training - this may lead to a recognised qualification or be part of lifelong learning for disadvantaged people. Charities will need to demonstrate how training will make a lasting contribution to their local community.
  • Local regeneration projects which encourage cross community partnerships - to meet this priority different parts of the community need to work together to help regenerate their local area. The aim is to encourage community networks, partnerships and shared resources. This would include intergenerational work, inclusion of disadvantaged people, cross community projects, encouraging diversity or networks of people from different ethnic groups to work together.

The Trust has a donations policy and does not for example make donations which:

  • Are for salaries or core costs
  • Benefit or sponsor specific individuals
  • Support lobbying or political parties
  • Would benefit principally a single religious or ethnic group
  • Are to help causes outside the UK
  • Are to replace statutory funding
  • Are for more than one year.

The Trustees favour smaller charities, local charities or local appeals from national charities.
