Welcome to The Trott Musical Foundation. Set up in 2008 at the request of Freda Trott, who left some money in trust to be administered to the students in the Sedbergh area to be able to pursue their interest and love of music.
A board of trustees administers a trust fund which was set up in 2008 to fund local children and schools with financial help towards music lessons and in the case of schools sometimes equipment. We also assist the pepperpot group.
We pay our grants termly and closing dates are set for each period. A percentage of the requested amount is paid out and in exceptional circumstances 100% at the discretion of the trustees.
We hold a biennial concert where the recipients of grants are invited to perform to a small audience. This is a great opportunity for us as trustees to hear what everyone has been doing and provides a platform for the students to play and hear what the others have been doing. This has been held in previous years in the Thornely Studio which Sedbergh School has kindly let us use.
