Wilton Middle School Educational Trust
Helping towards the cost of education
Educational opportunities by providing financial assistance
The Wilton Middle School Educational Trust (WMSET) is a charity set up to enable both individuals and organisations to take full advantage of educational opportunities, by providing financial assistance.
The charity was originally set up in 2012, but is now based at our newly-renovated Centre on West Street in Wilton, which has two rooms suitable for either small meetings or larger groups, available for hire.
OUR AIMS
WMSET provides grants to enable both individuals and organisations (eg. Schools, Playgroups, Adult Learning Centres) within our Area of Benefit, to take full advantage of educational opportunities, where there are financial constraints.
We also welcome grant applications from other organisations working with financially – or socially – disadvantaged people.
THE CENTRE
The WMSET Centre has two newly-renovated and refurbished rooms available for hire: a smaller one suitable for one-to-one meetings or for smaller groups, and a larger room which accommodates up to 25 people seated.
FUNDING
We are able to offer grants to individuals of any age, as well as organisations within the area. These may be part-funding towards larger projects, help towards the cost of educational requirements, or total funding of a project or academic course.
