Apply to the Gilstrap Trust Grant Scheme

We are the sole trustee of the Gilstrap Charity and have set-up a committee called the Trustee Board of the Gilstrap and William Edward Knight Charities to undertake the Trustee role. 

The membership of the Trustee Board is drawn from our wards to reflect the fact that the charity’s purpose is to benefit residents of the town.

The charity has established a funding pot with the express purpose of inviting funding applications for projects, events and initiatives which reflect the charity’s purposes and objectives.

Any application for funding must demonstrate benefit to the inhabitants of Newark.
