Most of the Worshipful Company of Water
Conservators’ charitable work is undertaken via our own charity, The Water
Conservation Trust. This Trust is managed and operated by twelve Trustees – all
the Trustees are members of our Company but act independently in accordance
with the charitable objectives of the Trust.
I have been invited to attend the Trust’s
meetings for the last two years (both as Thames Warden and Master) and earlier
this week I attended my last meeting.
The Trust works closely with universities
and schools in sponsoring post-graduate students and encourages environmental
work in primary schools – there have been many successful stories, not least
the excellent work with the Sir Hugh Myddleton School in Islington.
Additionally, the Trust supports cases of personal hardship within our industry.
A large percentage of our members regularly
contribute to the important work of the Trust and the Company is keen to
encourage those that don’t contribute to do so. A regular donation of even £5
each month would help expand the work of the Trust. Peter Hall is the Honorary
Treasurer of the Trust and he would be delighted to forward you a form and a
direct debit mandate – he can be contacted by e-mail at peterbhall@gmail.com
