Why is the trust needed?
Unlike some towns and villages, Cheddar does not have any substantial inherited
trust funds available for distribution to such causes. It is therefore the Cheddar Youth Trust's aim to raise a sum of money large enough so as to be able to make meaningful annual awards to the young people of Cheddar for perpetuity.
The initial target is a fund of £100,000, which would provide a level of annual income allowing grants to be made without eroding the value of the capital, the longer term aim is a fund of £500,000.
The trust has raised nearly £60,000 as of May 2009 and has provided grants comprising nearly £7000.
