Garfield Weston Statement

The Trustees of the Garfield Weston Foundation are utterly delighted that the improvement works at Holy Trinity have successfully completed and send their sincere apologies that they are not able to be with you for this exciting day in person.  The Weston Anniversary Fund was designed by the Trustees to support capital projects that would bring local communities together and have a positive impact on local people’s lives.  As you may know, we received an overwhelming number of applications to the Weston Anniversary Fund from across the UK and despite more than doubling their original commitment to £11million, the Foundation was able to support only a relatively small number of projects.  The Trustees and I are delighted therefore that Holy Trinity, Mapperley was awarded a grant in recognition of the wonderful work that you are doing to support your local community and we send you our very best wishes for the future and look forward to learning more about you over the coming years. 

Philippa Charles, Director

Rev Gill Turner-Callis and Archbishop George Carey
