William Geoffrey Harvey's Discretionary Settlement No 2 is a UK charitable trust focused exclusively on advancing animal welfare, preventing cruelty to animals, and preserving wild animals and bird life. Managed by four trustees, it embodies a targeted, impact-driven philanthropy, providing grants to established UK animal charities. Its approach emphasises trust-based, selective giving to organisations that deliver practical outcomes in conservation and welfare, prioritising stability and alignment over broad outreach. The trust supports hands-on interventions that directly benefit animals, such as wildlife protection, habitat preservation, and care, as well as education on welfare matters.
