This Fund commemorates the life of Michael Varah, and continues the work he was prevented from finishing by his early death. It supports the causes that Michael believed in and worked to alleviate: disadvantage and social exclusion, homelessness and poverty, crime prevention and rehabilitation, human rights.

Events are organised within Surrey and across the UK that raise funds to support those causes. With a growing community of supporters, we work to build the profile of the Trust through activity, through word of mouth and in the media. This website is the hub of our communication. Why not join us? Send us an email to join up to our emailing list, or attend ­ or organise one of our events.

The Michael Varah Memorial Fund encourages applications for funding from individuals and charities. In this way, we strive to make a difference – as Michael did for so many people throughout his life.

“Life indeed must be measured by thought and action, not by time.”
