FRANK LONGFORD CHARITABLE TRUST

The main work of the Longford Trust is its scholarships programme offering financial, mentoring and employability support to young serving and ex-prisoners to continue their rehabilitation by studying for degrees at UK universities. It also arranges an annual Longford Lecture on prison reform and awards an annual Longford Prize for outstanding achievement in the field of prison reform.

This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
