The Coachmakers Charitable Trust Giving Policy
The Worshipful Company of Coach Makers and Coach Harness Makers has decided that its charitable donations will be focused on training, specifically in the aerospace, automotive and coach making industries.
The Court has decided that its donations should be as substantial as possible with the aim of ‘making a difference’. However, bursaries will be allocated on an annual basis and, because funds can not always be guaranteed, the Livery will not accept commitments to individuals for long term educational courses.
The company provides bursaries for students studying motor vehicle design at The Royal School of Art and aerospace sciences at Cranfield University. A flying scholarship is also provided for an individual who, in competition, has shown aptitude and determination to become a pilot. The Livery supports the Lord Mayor’s annual appeal and makes regular payments to the RAF Benevolent Fund and to BEN, which helps motor industry employees.
