Tubney Charitable Trust
Social & Welfare Services in Reading, Berkshire
In accordance with the wishes of the founders, Miles and Briony Blackwell, the Charity has a limited life and is spending both its income and its capital to achieve its objectives. During their strategic review at the beginning of 2008, the Trustees confirmed their desire to reach a meaningful impact on UK biodiversity and farmed animal welfare that will endure beyond the short lifespan of the Trust. Importantly, the Trustees made the decision that over approximately three years they will allocate most of the Trust's remaining uncommitted funds (in the region of J26 million) to a tiny number of huge, focused grants.
