The Kathleen Graham Trust
While the Kathleen Graham Trust was founded by Patrick and Frances Connolly, in memory of Frances Mother, it is actually the work of a group of likeminded and dedicated people whose sole purpose is to help their community in the best way they can. The purpose of the trust is to support and help become sustainable, projects within the community which are already meeting the needs of that community. The intent is to make the work of these projects a little easier with cash injections where appropriate. What makes this charity special is our engagement with the projects we help.
We help groups acheive their goals within Northern Ireland
