The W G Edwards Charitable Foundation

The grants are loosely divided into Health and Community categories, focusing on the elderly.

Health and welfare: The Foundation gives grants for refurbishment of residential care housing for the elderly and for building projects which are nearing completion. Trustees also consider the provision of equipment and furniture to enhance care and improve quality of life.
