Empowering Change Through Charity
The Lockett Trust is dedicated to supporting local, national and international charities that bring about meaningful change. We support a limited number of Charities on a regular basis. In addition, each year a small number of applications received are approved by the Trustees on an ad hoc basis. Preference is given to smaller organisations with a low expense ratio.
About The Lockett Trust
