They are to promote Gloucestershire, and the best interests of the county, through fellowship and by supporting industry, commerce, sport, education, science, the arts, the armed forces, youth and voluntary organisations. We encourage leadership and debate, promote and recognise excellence and encourage charitable giving in order to provide a positive influence on life in the county. In short, everything we do is ‘For Gloucestershire’.

The generosity of our members in contributing to the Trust each year – effectively a condition of membership – thus enables us to support a number of worthy causes.
