The Worshipful Company of Wheelwrights' General Charitable Trust meets three times a year.

The Trustees are: Chairman, Past Master T W P Bridges MBE JP DL, The Master S Clark TD, Past Master K M Davidson, Past Master R V Proctor and Past Master T R Sermon MBE.

They are supported by Court Assistant P J C Crouch as Treasurer and the Clerk to the Company B D Francois.

In principle the Trust makes donations to:

• Enable mobility and access for disabled people and children.
• Charities which have limited funds and where our giving can make a real difference
• Specific projects with which the Wheelwrights can be identified rather than general funding.

Annual donations are made to the following:

£2,000 to The Lord Mayor's Charity. Every year The Lord Mayor chooses a particular charity to support

£750 to The Sheriff's and Recorder's Fund

£500 to The Corporation of the Sons of the Clergy

£250 to The City of London Poppy Appeal

£250 to The Ironbridge Museum Trust.

£248 to The Salvation Army*

£248 to Providence Row*       

 * These two donations are made from the annual Poor Box collection at the Company's Installation Court.

Much of our focus during 2010 was on BattleBack which is a charity designed to assist disabled service personnel obtain the necessary funding to enable them to fulfil their aspirations of participating in the 2012 Paralympics.

Further Details of donations in 2004, 2006, 2007, 2010and 2011 are available.
