Bishop Laney died on 24th January 1674, bequesting
his estate into a charitable trust. The present day income from
this trust must be applied in fulfilling the following objects:
- In providing financial assistance, outfits, clothing, tools,
instruments or books to enable beneficiaries on leaving school,
university or other educational establishment to prepare for
or assist their entry into a profession, trade or calling,
- In awarding exhibitions or grants tenable to any secondary
school, college, education, university or other institution
of further (including professional and technical) education,
- In otherwise promoting the education (including social and
physical training) of beneficiaries.
"Beneficiaries", means
persons under the age of 25 years, who are resident in the parishes
of Ely and Soham, Cambridgeshire.
The day to day administration of
the charity is handled by the secretary, Carole
Sprague, at Whiting & Partners' Ely
Office. All decisions on payment of grants are made by the
six trustees, collectively, who meet approximately 4 times a year.
