The Sylvia Wright Trust is based in Leeds and has 9 members with a range of backgrounds, skills and faiths. There are no paid staff. The Trusts primary objective is to raise funds and by keeping expenses to a minimum, we are able to send 96 pence out of every pound raised to India.
Currently the Trust sends to Sylvia £188,000 each year to subsidise revenue costs and over the years the Trust has also funded virtually all building and equipment costs.

The support network, including many churches, school groups and individual benefactors, reflects a true spirit of Christian co-operation and unity Funds are raised via standing orders, sponsorship, legacies, one off donations and the sale of Christmas cards. Gift Aid also generates income. If you can help in any of these ways please click on the Donations link at the top of the page.
