The Charity of Robert Phillips was created in 1991, fifty years after the death of the man whose name it bears. The Chairmanship changes annually and alternates between Trustees representing Surrey County Council and of Walton and Weybridge District Council. Elmbridge Borough Council provides the secretarial and administrative support whilst Surrey County Council supports the financial management. The Charity is organised as a selection panel who consider grant applications on a quarterly basis. In order to assist with the determination of applications, the Trustees have established the following policies.
