The charity was named after the Reverend Frank Buttle who, in 1937, had the idea to accumulate £1m to become the capital of a trust to assist deprived children.
When he died in 1953, he’d nearly met the target and the fund was used to establish Buttle UK.
The endowment value is now worth £50m and generates more than £1m in revenue to distribute.
