The OBA Charitable Trust was created by the Association in 1985. Whereas the activities of the Association are directed at establishing and improving communications between:

• OB and OB and;
• OBs and the school.

The idea behind the Trust is to help OBs who, for one reason or another, may be in need of financial support.

The Trust is a registered charity; the Trustees are the President, Richard Whiting (49-56), Guy Clarke (60-66), Alan Edwards (51-58) and Keith Jones (50-56).

Over the years a reasonable fund has been built up from surplus money held by the Association, and also as a result of the generosity of several individuals by way of legacies and lifetime gifts. We are therefore in a position to consider making several grants each year from the income derived from the fund.

From experience, the Trustees anticipate that the majority of applications will come from OBs needing help with their further education (including worthwhile gap-year projects), but they are also keen to assist those who may have fallen on hard times, or indeed their widows and children.

Applications to the Trust should be made in writing, addressed in the first instance to;
