The Trust

The Sir Nicholas Winton Memorial Trust was set up on 29th October 2018 by his daughter Barbara Winton, to hold the historic and more recent documents, photographs, artefacts and memorabilia of Sir Nicholas Winton. Its aim is to conserve the archive for the future to enable its use for educational and research purposes in order to promote Nicholas Winton's legacy and principles.
