Nailsea Community Trust is a charity set up to help the people of Nailsea and the surrounding parishes of Backwell, Chelvey, Tickenham and Wraxall. The Trust was established in 1988 when Mrs Joyce Thatcher bequeathed money to be used for the benefit of Nailsea and its' needy people. Since then donations have allowed the trust to continue helping local people and local organisations.

The Trust provides money to individuals and to groups or events. Individual claims are handled on a weekly basis while claims from groups and events are dealt with quarterly.

The Trust also collects and administers money to add to the fund for future aid.

Individual claims:

If you think that you are a suitable applicant or you know of someone that may be a suitable applicant then please contact us either by e-mail or by writing to us. Contact details are at the bottom of the page.

All applications are treated with confidence and only the Trustees will know who has been awarded monies and how much.

Individual applicants may be asked for a short interview with a couple of Trustees just to gain a fuller understanding of the issues that are being dealt with.
