Help!

Over the years the Trust's work has been supported by the Consolidated Charity of Burton upon Trent, the Burton Breweries Charitable Trust, the ME Wardle Trust, East Staffs Local Members Initiative and a number of local anonymous benefactors. Without such support, the activities provided by the Trust would not be possible and the Trustees are extremely grateful to these bodies and individuals.

Where possible the Trust encourages youngsters to help other individuals and organisations and has supported many other charities in this way. Its members have involved themselves in all sorts of fund raising efforts for other groups including a number who have made sponsored parachute jumps over the years and raised substantial sums for others in the process.

The Trust believes it is right to encourage its members to be concerned about the welfare and needs of others but it also has needs of its own.


The Trust is always willing to provide a speaker for other organisations wishing to learn about its work.

It also welcomes support and assistance from other organisations and could not carry out its work without the good will and financial support which comes from them.

 

There is one easy way you can help raise funds for the BVT without leaving your home!
