The Charles Wallace Trusts were established in 1981 with money bequeathed by Charles Wallace, a British businessman in nineteenth century India. He left his estate to be divided, after provision for his children, between the British Treasury and the Treasury of British India. In his will, he directed that ‘all possessions great and small being acquired through the people as mine should return to the people’. As a result of this, trusts were set up in Britain for each of the four countries of former British India — India, Pakistan and Bangladesh and for Burma/Myanmar, to assist nationals, normally resident in those four respective countries, to obtain education or training in Britain.
The four Trusts are Registered Charities in the United Kingdom with separate and Independent Boards of Trustees. The Registered Address for all of them is: The British Council 10 Spring Gardens LONDON SW1A 2BN |
