| Anna Wearne Trust - Helping young people fulfil their potential Anna Wearne died in 1997 when she was just 23. She was a young woman filled with potential, but even more importantly, she was a young woman who saw and believed in the potential of everyone she met, and encouraged and supported them to fulfil that potential. Whether you were down and out, or up and rising, Anna always saw the good in you and inspired you to see it and believe in it too. She made you feel good and helped you achieve good things. So, while her life was tragically cut way too short, her spirit lives on, in the Anna Wearne Trust. Established and run by Anna’s friends and her family, the trust aims to help young people fulfil their potential. And because Anna also fought passionately against social injustice and dreamt of building a community where equality, fun, love and compassion overcame disadvantage, difficulties and discrimination, the trust also aims to help people who face barriers to fulfilling their potential. So if you are one of those people, if you have a little dream, a little seed of an idea, something you know you could do if only someone believed in you and gave you a little bit of help, talk to the Anna Wearne Trust. If your goals meet our criteria, we will support you the way we know Anna would have if she were still here. The Anna Wearne Trust aims to create opportunities for young people to reach their potential, where such potential is hampered due to disadvantage or inequality.
