The Talbot Village Trust


With a rich history born from the kindness of two pioneering sisters in the 1850s, our activities and grants enable local impact organisations to change lives.

 

The trustees are required to balance the strategic obligations of the charity ensuring that funds are managed wisely, supporting the existing estate and community infrastructure, managing an urban heath and the wider value of the land under their stewardship, for the benefit of south-east Dorset.
