Kate Peters and I were pleased to be present for the launch of the new minibus for Farncombe Day Centre earlier today (1st March). Kate is Director of Grants and Impact for the Community Foundation for Surrey (Local Giving for Local Need) and I am one of the Trustees of the Thomas Trust which donated £10,000 to this worthwhile local project.
The Trustees of the Thomas Trust transferred the Trust’s capital to create a bespoke Community Foundation Fund in 2014 and we continue to award grants to care for elderly, disabled and blind people in the Godalming area.
Betty Thomas was a forthright lady and very determined that the Trust she intended to set up should be run professionally and fully exercise her wishes and stipulations. Her concerns for the elderly, blind and disabled demonstrated her kindness and desire to assist on a long-term basis.
