The Wisdom Trust - About Us.
About Us.
The Wisdom Trust was founded in 2003 by Graham Soper, with the help and guidance of a small group of friends and colleagues. The aim of the organisation was and still is to use the internet and any other means to help create more awareness about big global issues affecting the future of our planet, to show people of all ages how they can make a difference in their own communities and elsewhere, and to support the work of other charities and good causes in local communities all over the world.
Full charity status was achieved in November 2005. Since then, we have worked hard to achieve our mission and increase awareness of poverty, environment and health issues facing the global community. To date we list over 6,000 registered members, and work to support over 600 charities and good causes - in 29 countries, worldwide.
Our fundraising total topped the £14,000 mark in 2009 with at least 50% of that income being set aside for donations to the other charitable organisations we support. At least another 25% of our income is used to enhance our education programs and to help people 'make a difference'. To facilitate this, we have a minimalist approach to overheads: we have no paid staff, no dedicated offices and absolutely no desire to change this!
As a registered charity, we are subject to the governance of the Charity Commission and are fully compliant with all aspects of charity law. Our accounts (for every year since 2005) are available for public inspection via the charity commission website, and, also at our offices in Caterham, Surrey.
Our main office address is: 5 Livingstone Road, Caterham, Surrey CR3 5TJ, United Kingdom.
Our telephone number is: +44 (0)1883 341199.

Inspirational Quote For Wisdom
If we were intended to speak more
than we listen, we'd have been
given two mouths and only one ear.
