It was founded with money provided by the writer’s brother, Mr Lewis Davies, who is still alive. A registered charity, the Trust offers financial assistance to literary projects, including the Short Story Competition organised by Academi, and sponsors the erection of plaques commemorating eminent English-language writers. The Trust’s Chairman is Professor Dai Smith and its current members are Dr Sam Adams, Mr Don Dale-Jones, Mr Peter Finch, Dr Daniel Williams and Dr Tessa Hadley. All enquiries should be addressed to the Secretary, Dr Meic Stephens. |
