Speaker: Mark Gloyens
The Myers Marlow Benevolent Fund aims to provide grants in support of individuals and families living in the Parish of Great Marlow, who are facing financial difficulties. It has awarded in excess of 500 grants totalling over £250,000 to people of all ages and for a wide range of purposes.
The Fund was created in 1980 after a sum of money was left in trust on the death of a long standing Marlow resident, Pam Myers. Her express wish was that the money should be invested wisely, and the income generated from this should be used to support residents of Marlow, who were facing financial difficulties. The Fund has a board of trustees, drawn from the local community who manage the Fund and assess applications for support. Over the years the Fund has awarded in excess of 500 grants totalling more than £250,000.
