The Charities Aid Foundation’s (CAF) Private Clients/Trust Team has won the award
for Philanthropy Team of the Year at the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners(
STEP) 2011/12 Private Client Awards.

Last year the team achieved considerable success despite the poor economic conditions.
CAF Trust Account holders donated over £100 million to charities, a 25% increase
on the previous year; and during the year CAF opened 174 new CAF Charitable Trust
accounts for major donors.

Mike Packham, Head of Private Clients/Trusts at the Charities Aid Foundation, said:“
It’s fantastic that STEP have recognised all the hard work we’ve put into improving
our service. We’ve also added more investment choices for our clients and have significantly
enhanced our Advisory and Consulting service, including offering seminars on philanthropy.”
