The Admiral Trust supports Treolar’s Trust

The Admiral Trust is pleased to have supported the Treloar’s Trust which supports disabled young people in its residential school at Alton in Hampshire. Treloar’s starts in 1907 when the then Lord Mayor of the City of London, Sir William Purdie Treloar, set up a ‘Cripples’ Fund’ as his mayoral appeal. His aim was to build a hospital and school outside the city for children with non-pulmonary tuberculosis. On June 13th of that year, he wrote in his diary that Her Majesty Queen Alexandra ‘came to Mansion House to open the Queen’s Fete in aid of my Cripples’ Fund’. In 1908, Sir William opened his school and hospital in Alton, Hampshire. Since then, Treloar’s has steadily grown and developed, becoming one of the country’s leading providers of education, care, therapy, medical support and independence training for disabled young people.
