How Guild Members help the charitable trust

The Charitable Trust is able to support members of the Guild who are in need thanks to kind donations and by earning interest on investments.

Important sources of income for the Trust include legacies and donations, fund-raising events, a prize draw at the Guild’s Harvest Lunch, and the ‘200 Club’ cash prize scheme.

The 200 Club

The 200 Club works through an annual subscription to shares which qualify the holder to participate in cash prize draws held during the year – usually announced at the Guild’s annual general meeting in spring and at the harvest lunch in autumn.

At each draw there is a £100 first prize, £50 second prize and £25 third prize.

You can subscribe to the 200 Club simply by downloading this Bank standing order form

Fund Raising and Sponsorship

The original 1993 start-up sum of £3000 has grown considerably over the years thanks to the fund-raising efforts of members, friends and colleagues. The late Peter Bullen, Guild Chairman 1993-94, who originally conceived the idea of the Trust, ran the London Marathon on six occasions and former Trust committee chairman Arthur Anderson undertook a 180-mile sponsored walk from the Thames Barrier to the source of the Thames.
