“The Richards Trust” Reg No 306787
Nearly 300 years ago, John Richards, a merchant from London, who had been born in the Parish of Silverton left £1200 to build and endow a boys school in the village. To this day his legacy still survives. It has changed from its original vision of building a boys school, to supporting all young people under the age of 25 years for their education and development.
Although the education system has changed dramatically since the 18th century, the charity is still here to help those in need of financial assistance. The charity can help with the costs of all sorts of educational development ranging from preschool, to university and apprenticeships. As well as social and physical development such as sports, music, clubs, cost of travel and equipment.
There are so many ways which the charity can help.
All applications are treated in the strictest confidence.
Applicants need to normally be resident in the Parish of Silverton.
