The Archer Trust was set up in memory of Ronnie Archer. Ronnie was a successful businessman who rose through the ranks of Unilever. Throughout his life, he and his wife Catherine applied their surplus earnings for the support of good causes. On his death in 1994, Catherine provided initial funding from Ronnie’s estate and made further gifts every year from his generous pension. Catherine was passionate about supporting local communities, education and the disadvantaged. She enjoyed considering and understanding many of the charities the Trust supported. On her death in 2021 generous provision in her will demonstrated her wish for the Trust to continue its work unabated.
