In the charity's own words
The Trust's priority is to support charitities in Yorkshire, although consideration is given outside the area if the Charity concerned is of particular interest to one of the Trustees. The main categories of giving are social welfare, medical, arts and local conservation. On-going support is given if thought appropriate and Trustees look for well-managed organisations. No grants to individuals.
