Sawyer Trust

The Sawyer Trust was established following a bequest to the Rotary Club of Worcester by Mrs F J Sawyer. The original trust established in 1981 provided accommodation for ladies who were poor and aged. In 2006 with approval from the Charities Commission the trust's property was sold and a new charity established.

 

Objects of the charity

1) The object of the charity is to relieve women over the age of 50 who are in need, by virtue of financial hardship, sickness or poor health.

2) If and in so far as the income of the charity cannot be applied towards the object above it may be applied to relive men over the age of 50 who are in need, by virtue of financial hardship, sickness or poor health. (Note: Currently the level of applications by women is such that we are unable to meet all these applications, so application by men will not be considered.)
 

We help women by making grants to cover a range of needs, for example, funding removal costs, paying telephone bills, buying cookers & fridges and settling outstanding rent.

Please note we do not pay cash directly to applicants. Typically grants do not exceed £500.

Applicants can live anywhere in the UK, of any marital status, living alone or with family/friends.

For an application to be considered you must be prepared to provide written evidence (bank statements etc.).

If you make an application be sure to provide all the information requested - if not it the application may be rejected.
