In 1988 several members of our family felt that the most effective method of making a positive contribution would be by way of a Trust; and after much consideration, The Bowyer Family Memorial Trust was formed. It received formal recognition from the Charities Commission in March 1990.

Since the formation of the BFMT, many agricultural students have benefited from bursaries and grants, and are now actively involved in agriculture. We also actively support local agricultural and Young Farmer's shows. In between these shows the ground is actively farmed.
