Past Fundraising events

The response to Tom’s Trust to date has been overwhelming. We have now raised funds in excess of £1,400,000. The donations have been used to support a large number of very worthwhile projects. The Trustees would like to express their heartfelt thanks to all the Trust’s supporters and donors.
