Unverified non-profit organisation

Andrews Charitable Trust (ACT) is an innovative partnership between business and philanthropy. The Trust provides seed funding to social entrepreneurs in the United Kingdom and supports these investments with a blend of skills, advice and networking.

The Trust’s activities are funded by the profits of the estate agency firm of Andrews & Partners, and have included helping Oxfam to expand its work, and setting up Help the Aged and ActionAid. During the 1990’s the Trust established Opportunity Trust (currently known as Opportunity International UK), which brings affordable and accessible micro-banking services to some of the world’s poorest people.

Advantage Africa, Kainos Community, Excellent Development and Pictures to Share are some of the innovative ventures the Trust supports today.
