What is the FTCT?
• A charity that has been providing educational grants to the children of those working in the fashion and textile industries since 1853
How can FTCT help?
• Educational grants to fund tutorial support for children with special educational needs
• Welfare grants for the little things which most of us take for granted, like clothing, bedding or school uniform.
• Specialist equipment to help a child with physical disabilities.
“The tricycle is fantastic - it gives Franny a sense of independence that would not be possible without it. We are really grateful to the Trust for helping to fund the tricycle, which makes such a difference to Franny.”
“We cannot express in words just what an unbelievable difference this is going to make to Louie’s life. When Louie can learn to write and speak, he will thank you all personally”
Rebecca, mum of Louie, 7 mths
“many, many thanks to FTCT for all the help and support you have given us over the years it really has helped, the grant we received has meant far more than we could have ever intended.”
David, father of Sarah 17yrs and Ben,15yrs
“The funding from the
Fashion & Textile Children's
