Charities
The Royal Theatrical Fund was founded in 1839 by Charles Dickens. It is one of the oldest theatrical charities. The fund has no restrictive covenant and is able to provide financial support to all members of the entertainment profession, and in some cases, their dependants. Each case is considered by the Board on its merit and the support is made accordingly. The fund also helps with home care, residential/nursing home top-up fees. The RTF is able to share cases with other societies.
The Seahorse Trust is an environmental, educational, research and conservation charity that has been set up as an umbrella organisation to preserve and conserve the natural world using Seahorses as the flagship species and to educate others about the natural world. As part of our commitment to the conservation of the natural world, we will undertake educational and indepth research work in the field and in captivity that will help to conserve the natural world, especially with but not exclusively seahorses and our knowledge collected will be open to those who share our values who need or want our help. This we hope will break down barriers and help to move conservation forward more quickly. We aim to work in partnership with nature and others to the betterment of the natural world as a whole.
