Alternatively, you could request information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The Trust is obliged to respond to these requests about the information that it holds, in whatever format it is recorded. The right to request and access this information is subject to some exemptions, which the Trust has to take into consideration before deciding what information can be released.
Requests for information must:
a) be in written format
b) state a name and contact address
