Thank you
As an independent charity, Cran昀椀eld
Trust is very grateful for the generous
support we receive from individuals,
funders, partners and businesses.
Through their 昀椀nancial contributions and ‘in kind’ goods
and services, our supporters enable us to deliver our
work, run our organisation, support speci昀椀c activities,
and address needs within particular communities of
charities.
Unrestricted funding
We are deeply grateful to have the support of a number
of individuals and organisations who share our vision
of a strong, capable and con昀椀dent voluntary sector.
These supporters provide us with unrestricted funding
that enables us to plan our work and develop as an
organisation.
This year, the following people and organisations
provided us with signi昀椀cant 昀椀nancial support:
• The Princess Anne’s Charities
• Beatrice Laing Trust
• John Bothamley
Individual donors
• Britford Bridge Trust
Gifts from individuals are a vital source of support for
Cran昀椀eld Trust’s work. Some of our supporters make
very signi昀椀cant major gifts towards Cran昀椀eld Trust’s
work, while others make regular and one-off donations.
We are deeply grateful to all our supporters and for
every gift we receive.
• The Dulverton Trust
Our 35th anniversary celebrations
in 2023-24 (see page 44) included
two special fundraising initiatives.
In 2024, we launched our Smart Circle as a pathway
through which philanthropists and individual supporters
can make a substantial contribution and commitment to
supporting Cran昀椀eld Trust.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank those
people who have supported our work in a personal
capacity or through their own trust, foundation or
charity. Your generous support and insight have never
been more vital to our work.
We also launched #CharityChallenge35 as a
celebration of the people who make Cran昀椀eld Trust’s
work possible, inviting supporters, volunteers and
staff to undertake an activity they enjoy to help raise
awareness and generate vital funds for our work. We
would like to thank all those who initiated or completed
sponsored activities for the Trust during our anniversary
year and all the people who have supported their efforts
with generous donations. In particular, we would like
to thank volunteers Rob Everett, Paul Kiernan, Cedric
McMillan, Paul Santacreu and Heidi Simpson, and
Cran昀椀eld Trust team members Ros Egeland, Susan Elan
Jones, Chris Gatman and Vanessa Longman.
