The Len Pick Trust is an invaluable charity in Bourne providing grant aid and support for community projects that benefit the people of Bourne. The Trust makes grants to charitable, voluntary and other organisations within Bourne, along with Dyke, Cawthorpe and Twenty.
The charity was formed after Len Pick, who was a respected and well known landowner in Bourne, left a considerable sum of money to be used for the benefit of the people of Bourne when he died at the ripe old age of 94 in 2004. Len was extremely passionate Bourne and quietly supported many aspects of the town throughout his lifetime. Upon his death he wanted his legacy to live on by donating the money made from the sale of his substantial estate to the town that he loved so much.
