The Gane Trust

For a number of years, The Gane Trust has provided an annual travel award for students studying at Bath Spa University. The Gane Trust is a Bristol-based charity, and its aim is to support people engaged in all aspects of craft, design, and the arts. It was founded in memory of Crofton Gane, the pioneering furniture designer (1877-1967).
