Cynthia Mosley Memorial Fund
In June 2009 we became the new trustee of the Cynthia Mosley Memorial Fund (CMMF). The transfer was made by the Charity Commission at the request of the previous trustee body, Lambeth Council.
The charity was established in the 1930s following the early death of Cynthia Mosley. For many years it supported the work of a children's day nursery in Lambeth, set up to benefit children from poor familes.
Under the terms of the transfer, income from the CMMF will be used to support work with Lambeth children under the age of compulsory education and who are from low income families. The focus, as with all our grant making, will be to improve the long term propects of our beneficiaries.
The annual income from the CMMF endowment is relatively low though we intend to launch the programme with £100k. More news will follow (if you have not already registered for our occasional eNews you can do so by using the text box at the top of this page).
The CMMF began with trustees drawn from the good, the great and (perhaps) the not so good, but well known. The early deeds show a clutch of aristocratic titles. One early trustee remains a well known name...
