The Maude Pilkington Trust

The Trust was set up after newport woman, Miss Maude Pilkington, who lived until 100, left a sum of money to provide assistance to those in need in the town of Newport and the surrounding area of Forgan, Wormit and Gauldry. The2 trustees have since been distributing help where appropriate, but wish the aims of the trust to be more widely known.

The trustees feel it is important that people in need realise there is a Trust that may be able to help them.

Anyone who thinks they could benefit from the Trust should contact one of the trustees: either Edith McFee on 01382 541823 George Taylor on 01382 541823
