Asham Trust

• The Asham Trust administers funding which is used to organise a bi-ennial short story competition aimed at women.
• The Asham Literary Endowment Trust
  The trust was established by Lewes District Council in 1995 with an endowment from the owners of the site of Asham (or Asheham) House, the Sussex home of Leonard and Virginia Woolf from 1912-1919.
  
  The Trust is in the third year of an Arts Council funded development plan for a programme of events, lectures, and educational projects. It has just received funding from the Cohen Foundation and the Foyle foundation for a creative writing project for young people, The Write Stuff, to be launched in specially selected schools throughout Sussex this year.
  
  The Trust is a also leading mover in the campaign to save the short story, and a partner with the Charleston Trust in the most successful short story festival in the country, Small Wonder.
