About the Thomas Wall Trust
The Trust was created by deed poll in 1920 by Thomas Wall and the objects of the Trust were set out

be applied at the sole and unfettered discretion of the Trustees in any matter which they should consider
conducive to the encouragement and assistance of educational work and social service".
The Trustees take a broad view of the meaning of "educational work and social service” and applications
are encouraged both from institutions and individuals. More detailed guidance is set out in the section
"Grants".
