Richmond (Yorkshire) Rotary Club Trust

Purpose

The Richmond Rotary Club Trust is a separate organisation administered by trustees appointed from Richmond Rotary Club.

The Trust exists to provide educational and/or training assistance through grants to young people under the age of 23 years who have been resident in the Rotary Club’s area for at least 2 years. 

The Trust can contribute towards further or higher education costs that will assist young people to enter a profession, trade or calling.  This could include for example financial assistance with outfits, clothing, tools, instruments, books or travel to pursue their education, profession or trade. 

The maximum grant available from the Trust is usually £500, but may be more in exceptional circumstances.
