Archbishop Rice Jones Charitable Trust
Helping schools by remembering Archbishop Alwyn
Many people have warm and affectionate memories of Archbishop Alwyn - Bishop Alwyn, as he was in the Diocese of St Asaph. Many have reason to be thankful for his personal interest in them and in their families.
It is in memory of Archbishop Alwyn and especially to continue his work in encouraging and developing primary schools, their pupils and staff, that a new Charitable Trust has been established under the patronage of Mrs. Meriel Jones, his widow, and with the full support and encouragement of his successor as Bishop of St Asaph, Bishop John Davies.
Announced at the annual Diocesan Education Service in St Asaph Cathedral on the 29th April 2008, the purpose of the Trust is to build up a fund to which schools can apply for funding to increase their resources for developing their religious education and collective worship, objectives very close to the late Archbishop’s heart throughout his period in office, whether as a Parish Priest, a Cathedral Dean, a Bishop or Archbishop.
The Trustees hope that as many people and organisations as possible throughout the community who remember Archbishop Alwyn with affection and thanks will donate to the Trust so that the work in which he took such a strong interest, children’s education, can be strengthened by grants from the Trust. It is planned to invite applications from Schools and to make the first grants in the autumn of this year.
