The George Bairstow Charitable Trust was set up March 2014, in memory of George Bairstow. The Trust aims to continue George’s considerable charitable work to ensure that people and communities can benefit from his legacy.
OUR MISSION
The Trust aims to empower local communities to make a difference, by supporting:
- The provision of Emergency Aid
- Volunteering among young people
- The enhancement of skills among young people
The Trust’s programme will include events and activities to enable as many people as possible to become involved, whether as ‘doers’ or receivers.
OUR PROJECTS
In order to succeed in our mission, the Trust will work on a number of different projects.
- To provide funding towards the installation of AEDs (Automatic External Defibrilators) in village communities, strengthening the chain of survival.
- To help train communities in basic life support skills and the appropriate use of AEDs.
- To financially support initiatives that encourage or involve volunteering for the under 30s across the UK.
- To support those under 30 to improve their skills, fulfil their potential and develop their talents.
The Trust welcomes volunteers to help deliver these projects. If you are interested, please contact us.
