In 1969 Sir James Herbert Hamilton Colyer-Fergusson created the Colyer-Fergusson Charitable Trust. Over forty years have passed since his generous and philanthropic act and during that time the Trustees have made grants in his honour to preserve beautiful Kent churches, promote musical and academic excellence and support the local communities of Kent.
The trustees are pleased to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of the Trust and they will continue to review the impact that it has made with its funding to ensure that money continues to be well spent.
