Cheltenham Arts Council

Trafford Memorial Fund

In 1996, the late Miss Ann Trafford made a charitable bequest to the Cheltenham Arts Council to enable the creation of The Trafford Memorial Fund. The object of the Fund is the advancement of education by promotion and encouragement of music and the arts, and, in particular music, and the production and presentation of the same in Cheltenham.
Subsequently Ann's sister, Miss Cecily Trafford, left an identical sum to the Arts Council and both legacies are now joined in the Fund. Legally all members of the Executive Committee are trustees of the Fund but it has been agreed that everyday management of the Fund will be undertaken by three members of the Committee including the Chairman and Treasurer.

Two groups in the local community may benefit from the Fund:
a. Local voluntary arts organisations normally affiliated to the Arts Council
b. Students and other young people based locally

Applications for assistance from the Fund are considered in May and November, and are usually required to be made by the end of the preceding month.
