An important element of the work of the livery includes our charitable activities. In our case this is focused through The Water Conservation Trust which disburses more than £60,000 each year. The largest amount goes to support a major programme of bursaries for Masters degree students attending water, environmental sciences and waste management courses. The Trust also supports a schools education programme focused on projects to enhance knowledge of water and related science. In addition the Trust supports the Maidstone Sea Cadets, the Lord Mayor’s Charities and cases of hardship.
Many of our members regularly contribute to the Trust to enable this work to continue. One of my objectives for the year is to encourage more members to participate and I have just personally written to nearly 70 members asking them to contribute for the first time.
If you receive one of these letters, please read it carefully and I hope you will be persuaded to take part in this important element of the work of the livery.
