Star Trust founder Steve Hampson said: “The fantastic businesses and Americans in the East Midlands who make up the Star Trust know this so well that their generosity translates into genuine, genuine people at the heart of our local communities.
“We continue to be hugely inspired through the creativity, hobby and commitment shown through the small charities in the East Midlands, whose incredible paintings go unnoticed but on which so many depend.
“Our goal is to help grassroots charities that are making a positive difference to the lives of people in their local communities and all of those charities had compelling investment cases.
“We are now open to programmes and I urge charitable SMEs to contact us if they have obtained our investment in the last 3 years. “
