The CORGI Trust has changed it’s name to
The Gas Safety Trust to fully reflect our aims and objectives.
Allied to the change of name will be a re-branding exercise which we hope to launch in April 2010. The charity registration number remains as 1110624.
History
The CORGI Trust was established in 2005 as a registered charitable body with the key objectives of further improving gas safety for the public and industry throughout the United Kingdom and reducing the incidents of death and serious injury from carbon monoxide exposure.
The CORGI Trust provides information, advice, support and funding to any organisation, business, statutory and voluntary bodies and charitable/not for profit organisations to support the following key areas relating to gas saftey:
- Education and Training
- Research
- Awareness Raising
- Lobbying
- Equipment (e.g. provide CO alarms/detectors)
The CORGI Trust also takes the governance of the charity seriously and ensures that effective and measurable systems are in place to monitor, evaluate and audit its funding and partnership support. Trustees have a commitment to ensure that information provided by The CORGI Trust is transparent and accessible.
