The Wisdom Trust was founded in 2003 and gained registered charity status in November 2005. Through our work, we aim to increase awareness of poverty, environment and health issues facing the global community. To date we list over 5,500 registered members, and work to support over 500 charities and good causes - in 21 countries, worldwide.

Our fundraising total topped the £12,000 mark in 2007 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.
