The Joseph
Rank Trust was established in June 2002. It represents an
amalgamation of a number of charities established by the
late Mr. Joseph Rank (1854 - 1943), or members of his family,
during the period from October 1918 to April 1942.
The trust is a company, limited by guarantee, and a registered
charity. It holds investments and makes grants from the investment
income.
The original trusts represented a practical expression of the strong
Christian beliefs of their founder and his desire to advance the
Christian faith and to help the less fortunate members of society.
Today the directors of the trust seek to continue
the work and generosity of Joseph Rank by pursuing specific areas
of interest.
