All about the R.W. Mann Trust
The R.W. Mann Trust, an endowed grant making Charitable Trust was founded by Dr. R. W. Mann OBE, DCL and his wife Margery in 1957 by a gift of shares from Victor Products (Wallsend) Ltd.
Policy : The Trusts' objectives are wide ranging and include :
- The relief of the poor, aged or infirm
- The advancement of education
- The promotion of social welfare of a charitable nature
In general terms the Trustees have powers to make grants to any organisation which is charitable but they prefer to support charities, voluntary groups and educational establishments in the North Tyneside
and East Newcastle areas.
Grants made have varied between regular annual donations, small one-off donations and grants for capital projects. The Trust has made grants of between £100 and £10,000 but the average size of grant awarded is £1000.
Most of the beneficiaries in recent years have been youth groups (both uniformed and non-uniformed), children, people with disabilities, older people, schools, colleges, councils for voluntary service and other advice agencies. The Trustees are unable to make grants to individuals.
