In 2004 the Bromley Trust set up three awards in memory
of our settlor, Keith (Toby) Bromley. The trust chose
three charities involved with prison reform. In the
last decade Keith Bromley had been particularly concerned
with the plight of prisoners in overcrowded prisons
and the endless waste of public resources spent building
more and more prisons. He understood the cycle of re-offending
and saw the value of supporting offenders to learn a
trade that would enable them to gain employment after
release.

| THE HARDMAN TRUST |
|
|
 The Hardman Trust was founded in 1994 for the purpose
of assisting prisoners to equip themselves to lead
law-abiding lives by extending training and educational
opportunities before release. Awards are given to
a number of prisoners twice a year to help purchase
training courses or tools. The Awards are presented
during a ceremony to which the award winners and
their guests are invited. During the ceremony a
citation is read out in testament to the prisoner's
conduct and achievements and a commendatory certificate
signed by the Lord Chief Justice is presented. A
Keith Bromley Award is dedicated to the provision
of trade tools and equipment or assistance in starting
up a small business.
The Bromley Trust has been supporting
the Hardman Trust from an early period of its development.
When approached the chair of the Hardman Trust, Jim
McKinnon stated:
"The Hardman Trust would be
honoured to name an award after a man who showed so
much concern and compassion for prisoners and who was
a great support to the Hardman Trust over the years." The Hardman Trust will present Keith
Bromley Awards up to a total value of £5000 pa for
a period of 5 years. |

| THE BUTLER TRUST |
|
|
|
 The Butler trust was set up in
1985 to promote excellence and innovation in UK prisons.
Each year 300 nominations are made for innovative,
creative and effective work initiated by individuals
or teams of prison officers, teachers, probation officers
and other staff and volunteers working in prison.
There are 15 major award winners each year, 11of these
are awards in specific areas of prison work. In 2003
this was yet to include the field of Education and
Skill training. The inaugural Keith Bromley Award
for Education and Skill training will be presented
at St James's Palace in 2005.
The Award is for £12,000 pa for
a period of 5 years. |

| PRISON REFORM TRUST |
|
|
|
 In 2000 Keith Bromley began circulating
what he called his 'naïve notes' on prison reform.
The Bromley Trust is very excited that the Prison Reform
Trust has decided to rename their regular and widely
disseminated briefings, the 'Bromley Briefings' in memory
of Keith Bromley and the work he started.
Juliet Lyon, Director of the Prison
Reform Trust writes:
"His naïve notes were
of course far from naïve, and contained a potent
mix of facts and figures provided by PRT together with
Toby's (Keith Bromley) incisive economic and social
analysis of the state of our prisons. His concern was
to make sure that people in general know what was going
on in the prison system and that key decision makers
used the information to effect much needed change."
This Award is in the sum of £15,000
pa. |

| THE KOESTLER AWARD TRUST |
|
|
|
 The Koestler Award Trust
encourages and rewards a variety of creative endeavours
culminating in an annual exhibition of work from prison,
probation and secure psychiatric hospitals.
The Koestler Award Trust asked the Bromley
Trust whether they could name a prize after Keith Bromley
as he had been such a support to their work over the
years. The Bromley Trust chose nature photography as
this had been a great interest of Keith Bromley throughout
his life. The Keith Bromley Award for Outstanding Nature
Photography was presented for the first time at the
Koestler exhibition in 2004. |
