The Phillips & Rubens Charitable Trust

The Phillips & Rubens Charitable Trust is a grant-making foundation which donated £5,000 to the Centre for Social Cohesion in 2008/9 having donated £10,000 to Civitas in the previous year. In the two years up to April 2009 it also donated a total of £106,750 to the United Jewish Israel Appeal.

The Trust was originally set up in 1969 by the London accountant Michael Phillips and his wife Ruth. He was at that time a partner in the accountancy firm Hacker, Rubens, Phillips & Young, which he ran with the late Stuart Young. Stuart Young, who would later be appointed chairman of the BBC by Margaret Thatcher, was the brother of David (now Lord) Young who chairs the board of trustees of The Peter Cruddas Foundation, which has funded Policy Exchange. Lord Young and Michael Phillips are also both trustees of the Stuart Young Foundation along with the solicitor Martin Paisner, who is also a trustee of The Wolfson Family Charitable Trust, The Peter Cruddas Foundation, the Phillips & Rubens Charitable Trust and a number of other conservative foundations.
