Tremains Community Trust

Aiding ill health and hardship since 2016 

The Tremains Community Trust was created to provide financial support to individuals in need. Whether it’s offering relief to someone caring for a loved one or contributing towards essential items during difficult times, the Trust exists to ease the burden for those who rarely ask for help and to make a meaningful difference in their lives.

The funds will be distributed amongst successful applicants as deemed by the Tremains Community Trust subcommittee.

If you know a friend, family member, neighbour or individual in your community, that genuinely needs a helping hand, we encourage you to nominate them to receive support from the Tremains Community Trust.

A simple act of kindness can be a Good Move.
