About The Edridge Fund
The Edridge Fund is managed by five Trustees; each one is elected for a period of five years by the National Executive of Napo. They present an annual report on the work of the Fund to the NEC at the AGM.
Each Napo Branch elects its own Edridge Representative and this Representative is usually the first point of contact for anyone wishing to use the Fund.
Representatives are also encouraged to offer personal support should this be welcomed by any applicant. This role is, therefore, of vital importance to the Branch and to the operation of the Fund.
The Edridge Representatives and Trustees treat every application in the strictest confidence. These are considered at regular meetings throughout the year or, in response to crises, between meetings.
How the Edridge Fund Works
Most Probation and Cafcass areas have an Edridge Rep who deals with enquiries and encourages colleagues to support the fund.
Most applications for help come through the Reps - although people can contact the Edridge Secretary, Richard Martin or a Trustee.
The Trustees meet about six times a year to consider applications. In emergencies applications can be processed quickly.
