151. The Water Conservation Trust

Most of the Worshipful Company of Water Conservators’ charitable work is undertaken via our own charity, The Water Conservation Trust. This Trust is managed and operated by twelve Trustees – all the Trustees are members of our Company but act independently in accordance with the charitable objectives of the Trust.

I have been invited to attend the Trust’s meetings for the last two years (both as Thames Warden and Master) and earlier this week I attended my last meeting.

The Trust works closely with universities and schools in sponsoring post-graduate students and encourages environmental work in primary schools – there have been many successful stories, not least the excellent work with the Sir Hugh Myddleton School in Islington. Additionally, the Trust supports cases of personal hardship within our industry.

A large percentage of our members regularly contribute to the important work of the Trust and the Company is keen to encourage those that don’t contribute to do so. A regular donation of even £5 each month would help expand the work of the Trust. Peter Hall is the Honorary Treasurer of the Trust and he would be delighted to forward you a form and a direct debit mandate – he can be contacted by e-mail at peterbhall@gmail.com
