Gibb Charitable Trust Fund
Vocational grants for students and trainees
Funded The Trust was set up in the 1930s to enable incoming firms to train labour in what was the West Cumberland Development Area. The Trustees subsequently amended the criteria to assist students and trainees. The Trust’s assets were transferred to the Community Foundation in 2007 to create the Gibb Charitable Trust Fund
