What is it? J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books, set up the Volant Charitable Trust to support a range of causes. Its main aim is to help charities striving to alleviate poverty and social deprivation, with a particular emphasis on children’s and women’s issues. The fund also provides money for research into the causes, treatment and possible cures of Multiple Sclerosis, as well as a number of international causes.
