Every CAF story starts somewhere


Trevor Dickety established his Charitable Trust with the vision of making meaningful contributions to causes close to his heart.

When he learned about an inspiring project empowering women in Burkina Faso through beekeeping, he was immediately intrigued. This initiative, presented by the Shared Interest Foundation, aimed to help women earn a sustainable income through the Bees for Business programme.

Eager to ensure his donation would create a lasting impact, Trevor turned to our private client team for a thorough review of the funding proposal.
