These grants are made possible by the continuing support of the Deakin family and that of the Trust of the late Nora Combe. The Deakin and Combe Memorial Trust was first formed in 1944 in memory of George Deakin, former Vice President of the NFU and Chairman of the Pigs Marketing Board, who was tragically killed in 1943.
