Hello

At Chesterton House we're keen to support our community and give back to people who need help. That's why we're delighted to be able to tell you about our new charity, the Chesterton House Foundation.

It's been a dream of ours for a long time to be able to provide direct support to people and charities who are doing a great job, whether it's caring for people with certain conditions or illnesses, helping people who are going through difficult circumstances, or inspiring people to live better and more creative lives. After a lot of planning we have launched the Chesterton House Foundation to target help to where it's most needed. 

The new charity is an independent body registered with the Charity Commission under number 1200466 (you can view our entry here) and there's a bit more to do before we're fully up and running. In particular we are looking for people who would like to step forward as a Trustee to make up the full Board. The Trustees are responsible for ensuring that the Foundation is run properly, as well ultimately deciding on who will benefit from any grants that the Foundation makes. We've entered into a funding agreement with our Financial Planning business to pay a part of its revenue to the Foundation to use to meet its aims, but we're hoping that our Trustees, clients and staff will work together to provide further funding, either through direct donations or by organising events and activities.  

Our Team have been very enthusiastic about supporting the new Foundation, and some of them have voluntarily stepped forward as Trustees. To ensure the independence of the Board we are now inviting applications from individuals who are interested in serving as a Trustee. If this sounds like something you'd like to be involved in, click here to apply. If you'd like to know more about the role please ask and we'll be happy to guide you. If you've never been a Trustee before we'll be providing training and guidance as we get under way.

We're really excited about our new Foundation, and we look forward to telling you more about it as we complete the setting up stages. In the meantime, if you have any comments or suggestions, or if you'd like to help in any way - whether or not as a Trustee - please get in touch. We'd love to hear from you. You can email Jenny at marketing@chestertonhouse.co.uk, or give us a call on 01509 610472.
