Steadfast Trust
Our Initial Aims & Objectives...
Registered Charity No: 1105806
We have many ideas for future projects. As our charity grows it will enable us to undertake more work and a wider variety of projects on behalf of our community, all aimed at positively promoting Englishness not only to our own people but to the population as a whole. Many of our projects are geared towards younger people with the aim of bringing through a new generation that has a strong sense of communal identity. To this end we will undertake projects in the following areas

Educational - mainly for the young with the aim of promoting an interest and pride in English culture and history. We aim to publish books that will inspire children by telling them of   the deeds and achievements of English heroes and heroines, and the great achievements and positive contributions that English people have made to human knowledge over the centuries. We will produce CDs and DVDs and help fund drama, living history, music and dance groups that will work within schools, museums and play schemes. (see our Q+A page for more)

Cultural - the creation of English community and cultural centres. We will also seek support from local and central government for the promotion of greater public awareness of English customs and cultural achievements. This aim can be achieved through events such as an English History Month and an annual English cultural festival .

 

Research - little or no research has ever been conducted into the specific needs of the English community. We will encourage such research and use its results to inform the appropriate authorities about the needs of the English community and how they can be addressed. For example, we will ask the English how the areas in which they live can be improved, and what they think of the way their children are educated? What effect does Government policy have on them? The English community is as entitled as any other to have its views taken into account by policy makers. We will strive to ensure that government bodies and other organisations have the information they need to make appropriate policies and provide adequate funding to meet the needs of the English community.

Welfare - discrimination against English people is widespread but we have been encouraged to simply ignore it and walk away. Those who have wanted to take action have often been hindered by a lack of information about their rights, and the lack of anyone to turn to for practical help. We aim to assist in the creation of an advisory service which will offer help and advice to needy members of the English community who believe they have been discriminated against or otherwise disadvantaged due to their Englishness.
