The Jephcott Charitable
Trust was
established by Sir Harry Jephcott in 1965. Sir Harry was a pharmaceutical chemist
and industrialist and in 1919 he joined Joseph Nathan, an Anglo-New Zealand
company which marketed dried milk under the trade name Glaxo. He became the
architect of what is one of the world's major pharmaceutical companies,
being largely responsible for providing Glaxo with the scientific base on
which its prosperity depended. He retired as Managing Director in 1956,
subsequently becoming non-executive Chairman and later honorary life
President. He was knighted in 1945 and created baronet in 1962. He endowed
several charities. The Jephcott family continue to be actively involved
with this Trust.
The Jephcott Charitable
Trust now makes
grants for charitable purposes in four main areas of funding: population
control,the natural environment, education and health. Grants are made to
to charities in all parts of the world. We like to make grants
where our input of funds make a difference, pump priming.
