The Sir Halley Stewart Trust was founded in 1924 for research towards the Christian ideal in all social life. The objects of the Trust were in general: to advance religion; to advance education; to relieve poverty; to promote other Charitable purposes beneficial to the community.
They assisted publications exclusively connected to objects of the Trust. This 10-volume collection originally published between 1933 and 1968 forms a selection of those publications. Titles cover subjects such as religion, social welfare and criminology, as well as a title written by Alexander Stewart, father of Sir Halley Stewart, and a biography of the man himself.
Still going today, the Sir Halley Stewart Trust is a grant-giving charity that supports innovative and pioneering Social, Medical and Religious projects, to enable human flourishing and to prevent suffering.
