More information
The Jeremy Willson Charitable Trust (JWCT) helps people and projects that reflect Jeremy’s passions in life: athletics, geology, adventure and the environment. Jeremy died of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease and from the incredibly active, outgoing and successful person he was, he lost his ability to walk, remember, eat, co-ordinate, speak and do those things that we all take for granted. The JWCT helps young athletes from the UK and developing countries realise their ambitions, young geologists and others to carry out independent ground-breaking expeditions and research, young people or groups with disabilities to participate in sporting and/or adventurous activities in the UK and overseas and it helps practical projects to conserve and improve access to mountain and ocean environments in the UK and overseas. The JWCT provides annual awards and individual grants to the causes mentioned above.
