The Manly Trust
Formerly known as the A.G Manly Charitable Trust, the Manly Trust was set up in 1991 with the principal aim to support with the education of engineering and to nurture and inspire the next generation of engineers. Our donations are generally focussed on charities and academic institutions based in London and the South East.
In January 2026, The Manly Trust made its biggest ever donation, becoming the lead partner of the newly developed Skills Hub at CIBSE’s head office in Farringdon.
