Peter Williams Trust Fund
...a focus on early childhood
The Peter Williams
Trust fund was established in 1996 by Alan & Dorothy Williams in memory
of their son Peter who, after surviving a long illness that resulted in a 15
month coma at 9 years old, died in a hiking accident at the age of 16 years. In
their respective careers both Alan and Dorothy have been a formidable team in
the advocacy of quality services for pre-school children and their families,
and especially for those children who faced the challenge of social and
material disadvantage.
The first project of
the Trust in 1996 was to support the work of the Peter Williams Family Education
Centre which was initiated by Family Focus, but then terminated by Oz Child in
1997. In 1997 and 1998, the Trust awarded a grant of $20,000 for 12 months to
the Crossroads Children's Project conducted by the Salvation Army within their
Crossroads Housing and Support Network. Since 1999, the Trust has awarded
grants to Ardoch Foundation for its Early Childhood
project and in recent years has awarded grants to the UnitingCare
Connections child, youth and family services.
