One of Britain’s biggest charitable trusts is dismissing its entire board as part of a diversity drive after branding itself “white and privileged”. The Tudor Trust, which has an endowment of £288 million and received £2.35m of government funding in 2018, wants a “more diverse group” and to put “social justice and anti-racism” at the heart of its work. The group, which awards about £20 million a year through charitable grants, was founded in 1955 with the financial support of Sir Godfrey Mitchell, founder of the construction company George Wimpey. Several of his descendants have held trusteeships, including Matthew Dunwell and his brother Benjamin, both of whom could face the sack - linkInterim director Raji Hunjan said: in the light of the Black Lives Matter protests the trust must 'reimagine' it's operation. What a load of politically correct bullshit. This is possibly the biggest case of white middle class left wing virtue signalling minority appeasing wokery to date. The Tudor Trust should lose any charitable status and not receive any future government funding.

“ The Tudor Trust is an independent grant-making charitable trust. We fund projects across the UK, aiming to support work which addresses the social, emotional and financial needs of people at the margins of Society. We do not focus on specific themes or programmes.” findthatcharity.uk/orgid/GB-CHC-1105580That seems to be about to change .

Yes I'm aware that thanks to Sir Godfrey Mitchell (A white man) the Trust is wealthy and independent, that doesn't mean it doesn't receive public cash from time to time. In 2018 the Trust received nearly £2.5 million in government funding.

The point was that the trust said that “ we do not focus on specific themes or programmes “ but now they say ”social justice and anti-racism”( will be ) at the heart of its work” ie that seems about to change . They are getting rid of the whiteys as part of a new woke agenda probably .
