Our member trusts are here to provide the support you need

Thornton-Smith and Plevins Trust
Visit WebsiteWe assist Sixth Form students to continue at their existing fee-paying school after a loss of family income due to an unexpected crisis. In most cases the school will already have agreed to provide significant financial assistance.

Wispers Trust
Visit WebsiteWispers Trust was founded following the closure and sale of Wispers School for Girls, Haslemere. An investment portfolio was created for the dedicated purpose of providing an interest-profit base that would be used to assist pupils whose education in Years 10-11 (GCSE) or Years 12-13 (A2) would be compromised by parents or guardians being unable to pay the fees, through no fault of their own. Recipients have to be resident in Hampshire, Sussex, Surrey or London.
