Stephens and George Centenary Charitable Trust

Our core aim is to raise Literacy Standards in Merthyr Tydfil and the valleys . Poor literacy means that young people do not gain the life chances they deserve and as a result have limited job and career prospects. The Trust achieves this through numerous initiatives in the community and its Bursary and internship programme.

It does not say which part of government. These totals are separate from the named funders read from its accounts and the grants published on 360Giving, and are not added to them.

Funders that publish to 360Giving list 18 grants to this charity since 2015, worth at least £240,669.

Only funders that publish their grants to 360Giving are included, and many do not. These are amounts funders awarded, which can differ from what the charity received in a given year, so they are shown apart from the accounts figures above.
