Welcome
The Webb Memorial Trust is a registered charity; it was established in 1947 as a memorial to the socialist pioneer Beatrice Webb.
Since 1987 the trust has provided £70,000 a year to fund a variety of projects in the UK and Eastern Europe.
Its main work at present is a major project to celebrate the centenary of the Webbs` Minority report to the Poor law commission in 1909. It is not possible therefore ti fund any other projects. No funding applications will be welcomed before 2009.
It has never funded applications for grants from individual students.
All the work it supports should reflect the original aims and ambitions of the Webbs – the achievement of social and economic justice and the advancement of education and learning with respect to the history and problems of government and social policy.
