The Patrick Trust

by Libby Mahoney

The Patrick Trust was founded in 1962, by Joseph Patrick and his wife Ruth. The same year, they had sadly lost their son Andrew, at the age of 13. Andrew had suffered from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy for most of his short life. The Trust was created, in memory of Andrew, to initially fund research into finding a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Over the years as the Trusts financial position has strengthened it has been able to diversify its grants to a wider range of charities. They currently seek to help charities who support the young, the elderly and those in the West Midlands.
