    WATES FAMILY ENTERPRISE TRUST

    Wates Family Enterprise Trust was set up in 2008 to support initiatives that make a real difference to society. It forms a vital part of the Wates Family's commitment to being engaged stewards of a business that combines wealth creation with social responsibility. All the proposals for awards come from the Wates Family and employees, as a result we are unable to accept applications for funding.
