Joe Garmeson Trust

Joe Garmeson was a very prominent Toastmaster from its early days in the 1950s up until the turn of the century. He was active in every aspect of the movement and made a major contribution towards its growth and ultimate recognition as a district.

Joe passed away in 2001. He donated half of his estate to a trust from which three quarters of income should be used to subsidise underprivileged people in order that they benefit from Toastmasters training.
