We support a number of causes

The main town charity focussed on promoting, enhancing and developing the town of Coldstream for the benefit its inhabitants and visitors through education, relief of poverty and increased awareness of Coldstream.

The family has a long tradition of civic duty and investment in the local community. For example, Lord Marjoribanks was Lord Lieutenant of Berwickshire and Sir John Marjoribanks, 3rd Bt was Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Berwickshire, a Magistrate for Northumberland and helped fund the Coldstream waterworks in 1852, which is remembered on his memorial by the parish Church. More recently the family funded an art gallery in the town for a decade.

The Trust prides itself on a history of charitable giving dating back to the 1840s. Since inception it has donated to a variety of small Scottish charities working in a range of different fields and locations (including many in the Borders) but with a focus on the elderly, children, those with disabilities, the injured and the homeless. A member of the family is currently a Patroness of the charity.

Named after the town, The Coldstream Guards is the oldest regular Regiment in continuous existence in the British Army, with the motto “Nulli Secundus” or “Second to None”.

An infantry regiment and part of the Household Division, they are the Sovereign's personal troops, involved in State Ceremonial such as The King's Birthday Parade (Trooping the Colour), State Opening of Parliament, State Visits and the national act of remembrance at the Cenotaph.

The charity assists serving and former members of the regiment and their dependents in hardship, distress or need, as well as other charities supporting Coldstreamers and their dependents.

Art touches and enriches lives, so maximising access to collections through programmes and activities which involve and engage people of all backgrounds is key.

The National Gallery, London

A world-class collection founded on a donation from Sir George Beaumont who in 1826 gave his collection of great master paintings to the nation.

Philanthropists have continued to make substantial gifts, both of paintings and financial support allowing the gallery to acquire pictures, conserve and re-frame paintings, mount exhibitions, and carry out ground-breaking research. In 2008 for example the successful partnership of the National Galleries of Scotland and the National Gallery London raised the funding to acquire two Titians from the Duke of Sutherland, which reunited Diana and Actaeon with its sequel, Death of Actaeon.

The family are supporters of the George Beaumont Group of Patrons.

National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh

The gallery cares for Scotland's art collection across the National, Portrait and Modern galleries. A particularly important donation was the Bridgewater Collection, placed on loan in 1945 by the 5th Earl of Ellesmere, later 6th Duke of Sutherland, after Bridgewater House in London had been badly damaged during the Second World War, with masterpieces by Raphael, Titian, Rembrandt and Poussin.

The Order of Malta Volunteers ("OMV") is entirely volunteer-run and funded by donations. Founded in 1974 it allows disabled adults to have new opportunities and experiences away from their everyday lives and gives young people (aged 17 – 29) the opportunity to care, volunteer, and grow through service.

John Marjoribanks Egerton was a Knight of Honour and Devotion of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, as was his eldest son John. A number of the current generation regularly volunteer and are active in the OMV today.
