The Worshipful Company of Carmen Benevolent Trust CIO is the Livery’s vehicle for benevolence and philanthropy. It is often referred to as the ‘CBT’ (Carmen Benevolent Trust), ‘The Benevolent Trust’ or ‘The Ben Trust.’

Benevolence is at the heart of the Carmen. Like all City Livery Companies, Carmen are very much involved in supporting people and institutions in need, as well as causes associated with the industries which give rise to the Livery – transport and logistics.

As a Carman, this is YOUR Trust. But it can only do its work on behalf of the Livery satisfactorily if it has YOUR financial support.

YOUR FUND NEEDS YOUR EXPERTISE!

Would you like to become a part of your Trust’s decision making process for distributing charitable grants?

If so, the Carmen Benevolent Trust would welcome your help. We are currently seeking Liverymen to fill the roles of Trustee and Honorary Secretary and if you feel you have the ability to fill these roles, please get in touch with Chris Godbold (carmenbentrust@hotmail.com) or Iain Golder (iaingolder62@gmail.com) for more information.

Benevolence is at the heart of our Livery’s activities. Livery companies are among the greatest sources of philanthropy in Britain; and Carmen certainly play their part.

Trustees meet four times a year to manage the charity and identify new needs within the Trust’s core objects which are to educate the younger generation and provide support to people and institutions in need, as well as causes associated with the industries which gave rise to the Livery – transport and logistics.

The Honorary Secretary facilitates trustee meetings by fulfilling the administrative tasks of the Fund. This is an interesting role, enabling the holder to take a major part in ensuring continuity of Trust’s performance.
