Titus Trust
The Titus Trust is a registered charity in the UK, and is the successor organisation to the Iwerne Trust.
It runs evangelical Christian holiday camps for children and young people at private schools. The camps provide adventure activities including kayaking, climbing, go-karting, sailing, laser clay-pigeon shooting and other activities, while also providing Bible studies and discussion groups on the Christian faith.
The Iwerne Trust was set up in 1932 by E. J. H. Nash ("Bash"), initially to financially support the Iwerne camps, which were in theory run by Scripture Union (though in practice largely independent). In 1997 it was succeeded by the Titus Trust, which took over running of the holidays directly in 2000.
In 2017, details came to light about abuse of boys at Iwerne Trust camps by barrister and Iwerne Trust chairman John Smyth which eventually resulted in a settlement being reached between the Titus Trust and a group of survivors. Smyth died in 2018.
In February 2025, a Channel 4 investigation reported allegations of sexual assault and harassment of girls and women by David Fletcher, leader of Iwerne and Titus Trust trustee.
The Iwerne holidays were started in 1932 at Clayesmore School in the village of Iwerne Minster by E. J. H. Nash (popularly known as "Bash"), a member of staff of Scripture Union.
These camps were initially for boys at the top thirty British public schools, and aimed to promote evangelicalism in the Church of England and in senior leadership positions in the British establishment. Many men who became influential church leaders attended the Iwerne camps, including John Stott, David Sheppard, Michael Green, Dick Lucas and Justin Welby.
