The Macpherson Trust is an award scheme set up in memory of maltster, Tim Macpherson, who was tragically killed by terrorists in 1986. To find out more about Tim Macpherson and how the Trust was created click here
The scheme allows people of any age who are employed in the Malting, Brewing and Distilling or Grain and Associated industries in the UK to apply for awards up to £1,000 for personal development. Candidates are encouraged to undertake activities which challenge them mentally and/or physically, such as research, fact finding, experiencing other cultures, education and travel projects.
Awards may be granted to fulfil personal development projects outside the industry as well as for personal career development within. Two former award recipients, each undertaking very different experiences, share their stories of personal development enabled by the award of a Macpherson Trust grant here.
