Mr Roy Rowlands

Mr Rowlands set up the Rowlands Trust to be the benefactor of his estate and was clear the types of projects and organisations he wanted to support.  The Trust is now managed based on his wishes with a set of criteria agreed prior to his death and to date has granted in excess of £13,000,000 to the benefit of local organisations.
