Trust Transfers

Do you need to revitalise an ineffective or dormant trust? By transferring these to us, we can breathe new life into them, repackage and manage them on your behalf.

We have the expertise to support you with this process and make it as simple as possible, all provided in confidence:

  • The legacy and intention of the fund is retained – we ensure it exists for what it was intended for
  • Trustees who are unfamiliar with the local issues or geography often benefit from our knowledge and expert governance
  • Full support and due diligence is provided, as part of our full management service, including targeted promotion of the fund
  • Once the legal deed is signed, the fund moves over to us, to be managed together with input from the Fund Trustees

 

The Rossendale Community Fund was formed from numerous ageing trusts, some dating as far back as the 1900s. This was transferred to the Community Foundation for Merseyside to manage and the legacy of these trusts lives on today, to benefit the people of Rossendale.

“The Rossendale Community Fund enables our local voluntary, community and faith organisations to provide a variety of positive, diversionary activities for children and young people and add value to their existing services. Many use the funding to match other external funding and grow the services they offer.”
