Financial Support
Since its foundation in 1925, the Leverhulme Trade Charities Trust has been providing financial support for low-income families in the grocery and pharmacy trades.
With the importance of education at the heart of the Trust, it now offers educational support from early school years to university through a range of different schemes. By contributing to the educational costs of students from reception up to PhD level, the Trust can help them reach their potential.
