The Lady Peel Legacy Trust
Lady Janet Peel established a legacy trust for “the honour and glory of Almighty God for the furtherance and support of Church of England work carried out on sound catholic lines”.
- This is a Church of England charitable Trust, established in 1925, upholding the catholic tradition and has only limited resources.
- Grants are made primarily to all accepted ordination candidates who are in training at a theological college or on a recognised course and may take the form of a grant for the purchase of books or a small cash sum for especially needy candidates. In the case of a book grant, applicants are asked to submit a list of books. Trustees expect that the chosen books should be of lasting value to assist in the building up of a priest’s working library.
- Grants are occasionally made to clergy undertaking further academic work.
- Applicants for grants are required to give a clear account of their income and expenditure and, in the case of ordinands, to be commended by their College Principal (or his deputy) and supported by two references.
- Applications are considered twice yearly and should be sent to the chairman by April 1st or November 1st each year.
- The trustees are not required to give reasons for refusing a grant and they cannot enter into correspondence regarding their decision.
