Bishop Laney Charity Education Grants

------------------------------------------------

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.
