Founded in 1985, the Directors Guild Trust is the charity arm of the Guild, supporting both Guild activities and the wider remit of promoting British directors' art and craft to a national and international public through education, events, commemorations and memorials.
Currently the Trust runs the DIRECT ACCESS Feature Film Directors' Mentoring Scheme, sponsored by Skillset and Film Four and is preparing blue plaque memorials for famous British film directors.
The Trustees of the Directors Guild Trust are:
Simon Campbell Jones (Secretary), Anthony Simmons, Karen Johnson, Ivor Benjamin
Shevaun Wilder is Advisor to the Trust.
The Trust welcomes sponsorship and charity donations and if an individual donor completes a GIFTAID form, the Government will pay a further 28% to the Guild.
