The Charles Wolfson Charitable Trust is a UK grant making charity controlled by one branch of the wealthy Wolfson family. The charity was created by a Trust Deed dated 14 July 1960 and was registered as a UK charity on 8 January 1965. [1] As at 8 July 2010 the trustees were Thatcher's former Chief of Staff David Wolfson, his two sons Simon and Andrew, and Sara Leven. [2] The Trust's original founder, Charles Wolfson, was David Wolfson's father [3] and the son of Isaac Wolfson who was chairman of Great Universal Stores and established the Wolfson Foundation. [4]
Funding
The Charles Wolfson Charitable Trust provided a total of £45,000 to Civitas between 2006 and 2008.[5]. The Charles Wolfson Charitable Trust provided £75,000 to Policy Exchange in 2007[6] and £143,666 in 2008.[7] The Trust’s donations are not declared in its 2009 or 2010 accounts.
The Trust paid £75,000 to Policy Exchange in 2011 and £601,000 in 2012.[8] In 2013, Policy Exchange refunded £63,040. These payments were recorded as related party transactions because Lord Wolfson of Apsley Guise was a Policy Exchange trustee.[9]
The trust has funded other right-wing think-tanks including Civitas, the Social Affairs Unit, the Institute of Economic Affairs and the Adam Smith Research Trust[10] and has also funded pro-Israel groups like the Israel-Diaspora Trust and the Anglo-Israel Association.[11]
