Who is the Titus Trust?
|
The
Titus Trust has been working with children and young people from
Independent Schools for over 70 years. The
Trust's work was established by the Reverend Eric Nash, who was
employed by Scripture Union (a Christian charity) to work alongside
children from Independent Schools. The Reverend Eric Nash, affectionately
known as "Bash", was committed to teaching children
the Biblical truth about God's son, Jesus, so that they might
trust and serve Jesus as their Saviour and Lord. It was Bash who
pioneered the Trust's work in Independent Schools and who began
the residential holidays that, 70 years later, remain central
to the Trust's vision.
By 1941, Bash had begun to run holidays for schoolchildren in a small, Dorset village called Iwerne Minster and the holidays became known as "Iwerne Holidays". Over the years, the work expanded and new holidays were established at a number of different venues around England and Wales. In addition, a trust fund was established, called "The Iwerne Trust" to help finance Scripture Union's vital work within Independent Schools. In 1997, a new Company, limited by guarantee (Company no. 3473879) was established called "The Titus Trust" in order to safeguard this Independent Schools' work and to take it forward into the new century. The Titus Trust is also registered as a Charity with the Charity Commission (Charity no. 1066751). Although the Titus Trust is now fully independent of Scripture Union, both organisations continue to enjoy a close friendship and are pleased to support each other's work. The Titus Trust now employs approximately 16 members of staff. The Trust Manager is responsible to the Trustees for the day to day management and administration of the Trust and has particular responsibility for matters of employment and for the Trust's finances. The other members of staff work in partnership with a number of Independent Schools (for example, taking assemblies and lessons, giving talks at Chapel and helping to run Christian meetings) and are also responsible for organising and operating the Trust's activity holidays and other events. The Titus Trust remains committed to teaching the truth about Jesus to children and young people and currently carries out its work under the following names: |
