The Morris Charitable Trust was established in 1989 to provide support for charitable causes. It was founded by the Morris Family who run the Business Design Centre Group. The Group includes the Business Design Centre, Upper Street Events, Citycentral Estates and City North Islington. The companies, all based in the Islington area, contribute a proportion of their annual profits to facilitate the Trust's charitable activities. The Trust is run by a board of Trustees who provide their services on a voluntary basis.
