The IAPS Charitable Trust, (or itrust) created in 2011, is the charity through which the association directs most of its charitable and social responsibility activities. Its broad aim is to support the education of children and their teachers.
In 2012 the IAPS Benevolent Fund and the IAPS Bursary Trust merged with the new charity, bringing their funds and experience to strengthen itrust’s work. In December 2013 the IAPS Orchestra Trust merged with itrust, which allowed the charity to extend its work to support the musical education of children.
Today, itrust’s work is supported by the income from funds provided by the original charities, regular donations from IAPS funds generated from enterprise activities, fundraising activities in IAPS schools and generous donors.
