CGA Charitable Foundation

The CGA Charitable Foundation sets out to make relatively modest but specific financial grants to carefully selected worthwhile causes which have been put forward by our members. These worthwhile causes tend to be of a small and ‘local nature’throughout the country.

We have, for example, given £500 worth of angling equipment to a fishing project for disadvantaged children, and a similar sum for the ongoing maintenance of an historic World War II torpedo boat. In 2010 we donated £1,500 towards the construction of a cricket ground with specific plans to involve the local community and schoolchildren.

The foundation owes is origins to the remarkable generosity of CGA members back in 2001, following the outbreak of Foot and Mouth disease which left many farmers and country folk in distress. Within two weeks of making an appeal to help those in need, CGA members had donated more than £45,000 for the cause.
