The Macnair Trust (Charity Registered Number 503631)

The specific aim of the Trust is to support good causes in the Marple Area (this is defined as being within the previous U.D.C. boundary), the majority of the Trust's trustees must also reside with this boundary. This area includes not only Marple itself but also Marple Bridge, Mellor, Strines, Rose Hill, Hawk Green and a substantial part of High Lane.

The aims of the Trust are set out within strict guidelines but in brief the charity can support those causes which preserve the local environment, promote the arts in the locality, benefit young people and encourage activities in the interests of health and social welfare within the Marple area.

In recent years the Trust has been able to support widely varying causes such as assisting in the provision of musical instruments in local primary schools, improving facilities in local sports clubs and providing funding to local Scouts and Guides. In addition the Trust has been able to give financial support for local arts events.
