Nature of support: The Trust approved a two year grant to the PSA of £5,000 per annum effective April 1981 for the running costs of a youth hostel. A third year of funding was subsequently approved. In 1983 the Paul S. Cadbury Trust provided a single grant of £100 towards the Birmingham Education Department's education resource worker. The Trust agreed to set aside up to £3,000 to meet the expenses of a relief warden at the PSA hostel for 1984 to 1985. In 1986 a deficit in running costs was met by a Trust grant of £450.
