**The Basil Death Trust is looking to help fund charities and projects with a principal
focus on education in Highland Perthshire, the Roman Catholic Church, and the relief
of people in need, particularly related to the British Armed Forces.**

The [Basil Death Trust](http://www.basildeathtrust.co.uk/) was established following
the death of Perthshire businessman Basil Death in line with his wishes to use his
estate to support good causes. Having lived in Perthshire, served in the Irish Guards
and been a lifelong Roman Catholic, he wished the Trust to support local educational
projects in Highland Perthshire, the Roman Catholic Church, and military charities,
together with other good causes.

The Trust will award grants of up to £3,000 annually, giving priority to applications
within the principal areas above and the geographic areas with which Basil Death
had a close personal association.
