About us
The W G Edwards Charitable Foundation was established in 1985 following the death of Mr Edwards. He intended that 250 shares in The Wedge Property Company Ltd should be invested and provide an income for the Foundation.
Since Mr Edwards’ passing, the foundation has helped numerous small groups to make a big difference to the lives of people over the age of 65 in the UK.

About William George Edwards (1908 -1984)
Mr Edwards was a chartered surveyor who established his own firm of surveyors and built up a property investment company called The Wedge Property Company Ltd.
Income for The W.G. Edwards Charitable Foundation is generated within a sustainable, fossil-free responsible investment policy.
The long-term policy integrates and promotes environmental, social and good governance factors within its equity-selection process. The fund is committed to the Paris Agreement on climate change.
This is a small charitable foundation and the majority of trustees have been family members, supported by knowledgeable independent trustees.
Trustees do not receive renumeration and if your application is declined, we are unable to provide feedback, although you will be informed by email of the decision.
