The Sir George Elliot Charitable Trust

The Sir George Elliot Charitable Trust's principal purpose is to award three tertiary scholarships per year to young scholars leaving secondary school who have overcome great adversity, and who will go on to contribute to the well-being of the community in a wide range of spheres. Additionally, over the years, the trust has also supported many different community initiatives and projects, including the development of local hospices, provision of facilities for the care of the elderly and community facilities such as halls and large theatre complexes and other charitable causes. The trust remains committed to education in a way which balances that with community objectives.
