THE JOHN MASON FAMILY TRUST 

The Trust provides grants to charitable organisations that: (i) relieve poverty or financial hardship in a sustainable way (eg through education provision and infrastructure support); (ii) work to prevent or ameliorate illness through public education and awareness-raising; and (iii) promote religious harmony and community cohesion. It also supports the charitable works of the Church of England.
