The Trust started in 1985 – a completely independent body working to improve conditions for women and girls in practical and lasting ways.

We have a funding program that invests in women and girls to effect social change. Applications for the 2010 grants program are now closed. Final decisions about successful applications are made by the Trustees in July 2010.
