Peter Adams Trust

The Peter Adams Trust have been incredibly supportive of my studies towards my Masters degree this year. The Personal Improvement Grant helped me to afford the cost of living so that I could focus my attention on studying to achieve my best results and make the most of the opportunity at university.

I want to heartily thank the Peter Adams Trust for their ongoing support and confidence, both financially and professionally throughout my MSc in Sustainability at the University of Exeter.

The grant issued to me from The PA Trust for completion of a Masters programme has enabled me to study for a vital qualification and gain professional placement experience within the competitive field of Fine Art Conservation. The application procedure was straightforward and made all the more easy by great communication with the people behind the trust

I have currently just started my second year of midwifery training at the University of Hertfordshire and the grant has helped help with the financial side of university. The application process is easy and the whole experience was a positive one. Thank you for your help and support!

The Grants provided by the Peter Adams Trust helped us fulfil our Charity’s main objective of providing a brand new state of the art Sports Facility for Smarden. The Application procedure was simple and quick and the Trustees were very helpful indeed. Together we achieved our dream.

The Village Hall has received great support from the Peter Adams Trust. The Trust has helped and supported with projects in the hall i.e. updating the kitchen, new blinds etc. I found it mainly easy to apply for grants, but on occasions did find the process rather invasive. Nevertheless once the grant was agreed, the Trust were very quick to provide their help.

The Adams Trust has made two grants towards the Bethersden Recreation Field in support of the Children’s Play area. I found process timely and straightforward.

We greatly appreciate the various grants awarded to them recently for the regeneration of our facilities. The procedure is thorough and structured but at times a little complicated. Dealing with the PAT is friendly and business like and generally a good experience.

The Peter Adams Trust’s donation has helped us to attract match funding that provided our whole school with computers. Every child now has a dedicated laptop for computing and other lessons, which not only supports their learning but also engenders a sense of care and responsibility towards their equipment. The application process was very straightforward and the swift response time was impressive.

We are grateful to the Trustees for their sponsorship of our annual fund raising concert. The application procedure is straightforward and the prompt response is, we believe, precisely what Mr Peter Adams would have wished.

Thank you Peter Adams Trust. Applying for the grant was straightforward and helped by friendly people. The money arrived promptly, just when we were running short, so we could complete the floor construction. Now it’s all systems go!

The Peter Adams Trust supported our Ashford Green Corridor Interpretation Panels project, which saw 14 new panels installed Ashford; each panel informing the community and visitors about the important local natural and cultural heritage of that area. The PAT grant was crucial in helping us achieve enough funding to complete the project. The procedure was relatively easy but rigorous, in terms of assuring the trustees that the money would be spent well and as agreed. We found the trustees helpful and positive.

The Peter Adams Trust has supported Medway Valley Countryside Partnership to deliver a series of events, volunteering opportunities and school trips for local people so that they can learn about the value and conservation of grasslands and meadows through the Save our Magnificent Meadows Project. The application process was in its early stages when we applied, but overall it was a thorough process and there was always someone on hand to deal with queries. The work we have completed over the last three years would not have been possible without the generous support of The Peter Adams Trust.

I am 18 and have been supported by The Peter Adams Trust in my drive to become an International Hockey Player. The support has been invaluable in contributing towards the significant expenses incurred in playing at local, county and national level. With the help of the Grant I have gone on to become part of Canterbury Men’s 1st Hockey Team, represented England at the English Schools Games and received caps for England under 18’s. The Trust has been easy to deal with.

Thanks to support from the Peter Adams Trust a team of 25 young adults (17 to 23) together with older helpers spent 9 days in Morocco - Marrakech for culture and understanding and then trekking in the High Atlas Mountains. A really arduous and self-revealing and life changing experience for the young. The process of applying for a grant was both easy and necessarily demanding. The requirement to provide costings and objectives by me was both proper and responsible. Difficult to think of how the process might be improved.
