Its objectives have closely followed the interests of the Ferguson family in their commitment to education, peace and development in the Third World.

Over the last 15 years, more than £30 million has been distributed to a range of charities working in the UK and overseas.

For further details of who is eligible to apply, please visit the relevant website pages :
