THE NANI HUYU CHARITABLE TRUST
We give in the main to charities whose primary object is to help people who are under privileged, disadvantaged, suffering or ill; young people in matters of accommodation or training; and old people requiring assistance or medical care at the end of their lives. We do not give to national charities and have a strong preference for small local charities within the Bristol area.
