**Building society Abbey National plc has just published details of its Charitable
Trust’s new charitable priorities for 2004.**

Abbey National’s grant-making turst has changed its charitable priorities: it has
chosen to focus on nine key areas rather than spread its resources thinly across
the whole of the UK.

The Trust supports local communities, particularly in those areas where Abbey has
a significant presence, by supporting disadvantaged people through education and
training, local regeneration projects which encourage cross community partnerships,
and financial advice which helps them manage their money.
