The BSMGP Trust

The BSMGP is in the process of setting up a Trust which will undertake the charitable activities at present undertaken by the BSMGP and expand on them over time.  Charitable status for the Trust is currently being applied for.  The Objects of the new charity, The BSMGP Trust, will be 'to benefit the public by:

(1) the education of the public in the history, art, production and conservation of stained and all other forms of glass by conducting research, lectures, seminars, conferences, exhibitions, visits, and any other means of exchanging information;
(2) the publishing of specialist journals, newsletters, and other related publications, and the maintenance of a library;
(3) the provision of scholarships and grants, and any other form of educational provision or support, to enable individuals who would not otherwise be able to do so, to undertake a course of study; and
(4) the support of training programmes, including apprenticeships, in the art and craft of glass (whether in formal educational establishments or elsewhere).'

Once the Trust has been set up, accepted by the Charity Commission and registered, details of its activities will appear on this page.
