Stow Community Trust
Stow Community Trust is a community based, not for profit organisation, made up of local people keen to see development of assets in the village and surrounding area for the common good.
The work of the Trust is primarily project based and involves close partnerships with other community organisations and statutory groups. Over the years, there have been a number of projects and the Trust prides itself on being flexible and forward thinking so that Stow and the surrounding area can be ready for whatever the future holds.
