Go Back to Charitable Trust Fund
Each year The Charitable Trust, in its quest to support research and education, make awards to individuals from our Affiliations. On 22nd July 2019, in keeping with this long established tradition, this year’s gathering began with a Thanksgiving service in the heart of the City, followed by a luncheon and prize-giving in the magnificent setting of Trinity House, one of London’s most elegant banqueting and conference venues. Of all the events held over the year, this one is always especially fulfilling. Mainly because our affiliates and scholars are present, making it possible to celebrate their growth and achievements in such a way that both sides benefit.
The Principal guest was Major General Angus Fay CB Head of Defence Logistic Transformation and Colonel of The Queen’s Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment, who reflected on his early career as an infantry officer in the Brigade of Ghurkhas within the auspicious and traditional setting of Trinity House.
