A charitable trust fund is to be set up in memory of former British Super Featherweight & WBC International Super Featherweight champion Robert Dickie.

In response to the overwhelming number of tributes & messages of condolence that have been received by Bobby’s family, it has been decided to set up the Robert Dickie Charitable Trust – with a specific aim of raising money for local charities and other worthy causes, whilst at the same time keeping Bobby’s memory alive.

The organising committee & trustees will establish a core of supporters (patrons) – to ensure the charity has a solid base upon which to start our work. The work of generating support for the Trust, and to encourage patrons, will lie firmly with all involved with the Trust.

The Robert Dickie Charitable Trust will look to work with selected nominated charities each year, and in addition, it will support additional projects and good causes from organisations or individuals who apply to the Trust for funding.

These applications will be carefully considered by the Trustees throughout the course of the year. For full details of how to apply, go to the contact page or write to the Robert Dickie Charitable Trust.
