Welcome to the Summerfield Charitable Trust
|
The Summerfield Charitable Trust was established by Ronald Summerfield, a Cheltenham antique dealer, shortly before his death in 1989.
During 2013 we donated £457,833 to a wide variety of good causes throughout Gloucestershire. We paid a total of 79 grants ranging from small grants of £500, to larger grants of over £20,000. The average grant payment was £5,800. 2014 is the 25th Anniversary of the Summerfield Charitable Trust. To highlight the work of the Trust and explain more about its aims and priorities today and for the future, the Trustees commissioned a video which can be viewed by clicking on the image below.
Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum
In 2009 the Summerfield Charitable Trust awarded a special one-off grant of £750,000 towards the art gallery and museum's major redevelopment project in Clarence Street, Cheltenham. The project was completed in 2013 and the refurbished art gallery and museum has been renamed THE WILSON, and re-opened on 5th October 2013. It includes a new Summerfield Gallery. Read more
