The Trust has four objectives:

1. To advance the education of the public in the subject of gender by carrying out research and/or assisting the research and study into the social, economic and legal position of women in society and to disseminate the results of such research and study;
2. To alleviate poverty and hardship by promoting and advancing good health and education among women in any part of the world;
3. To promote equality of opportunity between women and men in any part of the world;
4. To undertake other charitable purposes.

We welcome applications in keeping with our aims and objectives. Examples of the types of project we might support are:

• Conferences or workshops. For example we would fund a conference on a health issues of particular concern to women;
• Preparation of relevant teaching materials. For example we would fund the preparation of material for a course which sought to explore issues of particular relevance to the experience of women;
• Community projects such as videos;
• Oral history projects;
• Original research intended to extend understanding about women's position in society. This can be from any disciplinary perspective provided that it is intellectually rigorous and relevant to the aims of the Trust.
