THE PANASONIC TRUST FOR THE FURTHER EDUCATION AND TRAINING OF ENGINEERS
The Trust is currently funding a regional programme in the Welsh Valleys that provides engineering-focused enhancement and enrichment opportunities for students and teachers in secondary schools and Post-16 as well as a bursary programme to support students progressing on to vocational education. It's aim is to create a local STEM-skilled workforce capable of meeting the region's future needs.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £70,964 for the year, largely driven by grant payments and service charges exceeding investment income. However, the trustees confirm the entity remains a going concern with adequate resources, holding unrestricted funds of £2,139,213 at the balance sheet date. The trustees consider the level of general unrestricted reserves to be satisfactory.
