    THE WIXAMTREE TRUST 

    The Trust focusses most of its support on organisations based in Bedfordshire or projects for the benefit of the people of that County. A small number of national charities with a focus on family social issues are also supported. Furthermore, the trustees are also sympathetic towards applications received from organistions of which the late Humphrey Whitbread was a benefactor.
