The Archer Trust

The Archer Trust is a UK Christian charitable grant-making trust, registered with the Charity Commission number 1033534.

The Archer Trust was set up in 1994 in memory of Ronnie Archer, who rose through the ranks of Unilever to become Vice-Chairman. It is hoped that the Archer Trust will be a fitting memorial to a talented but modest man. 

Guidelines for the application of grants are as follows, if:
    You are a small UK charity for whom a grant of between £250 and £3,000 will make a big difference. 
    In one way or another, you provide aid or support to a defined group of needy or deserving people, for instance those with physical or mental        disabilities or the disadvantaged. 
    You are competently run and can support your application with up-to-date accounts.
