Gardner's Trust for the Blind was created by the will of Mr Henry Gardner who, on his death on 9 January 1879, left £300,000 for the benefit of blind persons residing in England and Wales.

In accordance with the wishes of the testator the matter was referred to the Court of Chancery where a scheme for the administration of the fund was drawn up, dated 20 January 1882.

Income from the trust is used to give educational and other grants, and pensions, to blind persons of all ages. The trust has also founded scholarships at various colleges, schools and institutions for the blind.

These records were deposited in the Greater London Record Office, on 27 January 1992.
