Victor Mann Trust - Application For Financial Assistance

The Victor Mann Trust is a long established charitable fund that was created to support older residents in the Wallsend area. It was founded in 1957 by Reginald William Mann, a local engineer and cofounder of Victor Products, who wished to improve the comfort and wellbeing of older people in the community.

Today, the Trust continues this work by offering grants to people aged 60 or over, who are on a low income and living within the former Borough of Wallsend (NE28). These grants are intended to help with practical needs that can make everyday life a little easier.

Grants can be used to help with essential household items such as furniture, carpeting, wallpaper, or small decorating and improvement works that could make your home more comfortable.
