Copper Beech Trust
We would like to remind past pupils about the Copper Beech Trust. The Copper Beech trust formerly known as the Gonzaga Benevolent Fund, is a charity for Gonzaga Past Pupils, staff and families. The Trust has helped many in need with mental health, physical health, financial, or family problems.
The Copper Beech trust works quietly and confidentiality in the background with those who need help. It's not just about assisting financially, it's about using the Gonzaga network in a positive way.
If you or someone you know needs help and you feel there is no one else to turn to, please email
where your enquiry will be dealt with in confidence
