The Aston-Mansfield Charitable Trust (AMCT) holds assets (property and investment funds) from which it derives income to support the work of charities which develop the community wealth of East London, and which promote a diverse and inclusive society in which all are free to participate. The most significant grant is made to Aston-Mansfield, a charity connected by common objects and unity of administration. Grants are also made to other projects, within the objectives and area of benefit of AMCT.
AMCT owns a property and investment portfolio, which includes a significant site in Forest Gate, Newham, comprising a Community Centre, a New Business Centre, Social Housing (26 tenants) and a parade of 7 shops, adjoining a Crossrail station. Other sites include a Community Centre in Manor Park, Newham, 2 office buildings in Plaistow, Newham, a substantial open space in Manor Park, Newham, and a 64 acre site in Essex.
The management services (finance, property management, administration) for the day to day operation of the charity are provided by Aston-Mansfield.
