Bda Benevolent Fund

The Derek Butler Trust is a grant-making charity established by the will of Derek Butler, who had a lifelong passion for music and travel. The charity focuses on making grants in the fields of HIV, cancer, music, and music education, with scholarships awarded to promising students at several prestigious music colleges. Scholarship awards under the Derek Butler Trust London Scholarship and Prize provide substantial support to first-year postgraduate students from Trinity College, Royal College of Music, Royal Academy of Music, and Guildhall School of Music and Drama, culminating in an annual concert at Wigmore Hall. The charity predominantly grants funds to other charities, although bursaries may occasionally be awarded to individual students under exceptional circumstances. Generated from the website
