Overview
The late Edward Cadbury who founded the trust in 1947 gave the giving of money to charity in the following fields an expression of his ideals and spiritual values. The Westcroft Trust has a potential remit to fund in the following areas:
Currently the trustees have five main areas of interest:
- international understanding, including conflict resolution and the material needs of the developing world
- religious causes, particularly social outreach, usually of the Society of Friends (Quakers) but also for those originating in Shropshire
- needs of people with disabilities, primarily in Shropshire
- development of community groups and
- reconciliation between different cultures in Northern Ireland.
There have been no donations to Northern Ireland in the last 5 years so it is assumed it will be difficult to obtain funding.
