Education Trust Fund
The Education Fund was launched at our 40th Anniversary in 2014, with a fund-raising appeal associated with the publication of our commemorative book ‘Course and Speed Made Good’. The fund is registered with the Charity Commissioners and governed by a Deed of Covenant, the main object of which is ‘ the advancement of education of persons in the Business of Shipbroking for the promotion of good practice therein’.
The scheme is administered by a Board of Trustees, mainly drawn from members of the Branch Committee in office. Revenue generated from sponsorship donations and general fund-raising activities are channelled, tax exempt, through the scheme in order to promote the work of the Branch. .
