As a progression to the inheritance of a rich heritage and proud history, the Family decided to found a Family Trust. The objects were essentially to be:

i ) To promote the advancement and progress of the direct descendants of Mr. & Mrs. Alfred Ratwatte,

ii ) To support the Family in times of crisis such as serious illness and death,

iii ) To support the Family in the form of scholarships in keeping with set guide lines,

iv ) To protect and maintain the Family "burial ground" at Gunnepana, and

v ) Raise funds in support of the above objects and for any other reasons as deemed necessary by the Trust.
