The Tantum Trust - Margaret Lawden (10th Feb 2021 - 17:04:31) You may have noticed that the BLH Charity shops in Bordon, Liphook, Haslemere and Grayshott have a new name - The Tantum Trust. Nothing has changed apart from the name! The Charity was established in 1992 by local businessman Carl Tantum who was later awarded an MBE for his charitable work. Carl’s vision was for a local charity which would support the local community and, since its inception, the Charity has granted £1.25 million to those in need, more than fulfilling the original objective. Starting out as The Bordon Charity with one shop, more shops subsequently opened in Liphook, Haslemere and finally Grayshott and the name of the charity evolved. To allow for continued growth and expansion, a new ‘umbrella’ name has been chosen and, in recognition of its founder, we are now ‘The Tantum Trust’. The majority of the funds raised by The Tantum Trust are generated through sales in our four Charity shops but we are also fortunate to benefit from occasional generous donations received from benefactors. At the same time as making their profits available for the local community, the shops also provide affordable clothes, toys and household items. The Charity thus fulfils not one, but two, essential roles for the local community. Obviously, none of this could be achieved without the support of the public – those who donate items for sale, those who make financial contributions and those who purchase our goods. We are very grateful to all our donors, customers and to our hardworking staff and volunteers. We look forward to seeing you again when our shops reopen. www.thetantumtrust.co.uk
