Story

The Peter Westropp Memorial Trust supports the many carers who provide unpaid assistance to family and friends unable to cope on their own. It's often assumed the charitable work they do is "a given", and perhaps what any of us would do if confronted with the same situation in our own lives. But looking after another person requires commitment and selflessness, often to the detriment of the carer themselves.

The Trust donates directly to charities, such as the Carers Trust, whose role it is to help the carers cope with the emotional and physical strain of their caring role.The Trust also hopes to go some way to increasing the awareness of carers and the invaluable contribution they make to the lives of others. 

A big part of Pete's life was his empathy for other people. Whether he was with family, friends, or making a first introduction, Peter appreciated and connected with those around him, and so would like the idea of making a contribution to this largely unrecognised group.

Support us on our next fundraising adventure - Father and son team cycle the length of the country unsupported, in memory of Peter.
