In 1997, the seven original Trustees of the London Shogyoji Trust, Venerable Chimyo Takehara, Reverend Professor Taira Sato, Professor John White, Mr. Reitaro Oga, Dr. Masayoshi Sakimura, Dr. Stephen Montgomery and Mr. Frederick Adkins, were named in an Application for Charitable Status, and were joined in 1998 by Mrs. Ann Montgomery. Then, on 16th July 1999, the Charity Commission for England and Wales entered the Trust in its Register as Charity No. 1076610.
The Trust holds regular meetings twice a year, normally in Spring and Autumn and is responsible, on behalf of Shogyoji, for all aspects of the running of Three Wheels.
