The Marjorie McBain Trust and Elise Hewland Fund
The McBain Trust is here to help Friends in immediate need of financial
help. We also manage the Elise Hewland Fund which is not restricted to
Friends, but to elderly or recuperating people in need, living on the
Isle of Wight.
If you wish to apply for help, please ask an Overseer to support your
application. We ask that both the applicant and Overseer apply in
writing to the Convenor, explaining the situation. There are no forms
to fill in.
Our Trustees are : Marilyn Cox, Brenda Dash, Patrick Nott, Dot Pilliner, Mary Pollock, Pat Slade,
Sheila Stevens, Jean Watson, and Shella Parry as convenor (June 2010).
