The Webster & Davidson Mortification for the Blind was set up many years ago to assist blind and partially sighted young persons. The Governors recently resolved to use the Trust’s annual income to assist young people with a significant, diagnosed, non-correctable sight impairment attending school, college or university, to further their musical education. This will be done by means of bursaries (normally tenable for one year with the possibility of renewal at the Governors’ discretion) and also grants for specific musical purposes.
Trust funds are not extensive and preference will be given to persons resident, or normally resident, in Scotland.
