In the past, support has been given to occupational health studies of the causative agents of byssinosis and asthma; assistance in organising archives of the cotton industry; and the impact of redundancy on textile workers. The Trustees are also interested in applications that would encourage technological and other developments which would have an impact on the textile industry.
