The first aim of The Trust is to increase the awareness and celebrate the achievements of Dr Frederick Lanchester and his brothers in the cities where they lived and worked
Lanchester
scholarships and awards are on the agenda to assist University students
and other scholars, and financial assistance may be given to deserving
various Lanchester-related projects. Maybe a permanent Lanchester
exhibition can be created, maybe the restoration of important Lanchester
cars and other items can be undertaken.
However,
these exciting ventures require funding and, for the foreseeable future,
all the Trust's worthy aims will have to be funded by donations from
industry and individuals alike. It is indeed wonderful that the first
contributions have already kindly been offered. If you, your friends
and your business colleagues would like to join these existing sponsors,
you will be proudly classed as Founder Members of this charitable
Trust, which is run wholly by unpaid volunteers. The Trustees thank you
in anticipation of your support and would be interested to hear of your
ideas for the future development of The Lanchester Trust.More formally:
