Colonel William Llewellen Palmer Educational Charity

Bradford on Avon Town Council became sole trustee of the Colonel William Llewellen Palmer Educational Charity (CWLPEC) in August 2017 when it was transferred from Wiltshire Council.

The charity was established from the sale of land at Sladesbrook, Bradford on Avon and was confirmed by the Charity Commission on Thursday 11 June 1992.

The land sold was part of an area that was the subject of a bequest to Wiltshire County Council by Colonel William Llewellen Palmer in 1931. The charity retains ownership of the remaining land at a site 1 mile to the north of the town centre made up of recreational grounds and allotments.

In the spirit of Colonel William Llewellen Palmer’s legacy, this charity is for the benefit of young people under 25 who attend, or have attended, schools in Bradford on Avon, and for recreational facilities for that age group.

For more details on CWLPEC as a charity, please visit the Charity Commission website.
