MEMORIAL FUND TRUST
George Viner
| Felix Dearden | NUJ | Trustees | Sponsors | Applying for funding |
George Viner was the NUJ's Education and Training Officer from 1961
until his retirement in 1976.
George became a member of the NUJ in 1932 at the age of 20 and was an active member for most of his life. He was a member of the National Executive Council (the NUJ's governing body) for many years. In 1982 he became a life member of the union.
During his career, George's many credits included the setting up of the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) ,which, today runs some of the best recognised journalism qualifications. Much of his journalistic career was spent in South Wales, where he developed his interest in education through his work with bodies such as the Workers' Educational Association.
George passed away in 1983 and the Trust was set up in his name as it was felt that George would have wholeheartedly supported its aims.
George's daughter Carole continues the families association with the charity by being a charity trustee.
