What do you mean here by 'trust'?
Thank you Clive.

I, by the word trust, mean "an organization which controls property and/or money for the benefit of another person".

Hi,

We are getting up a group of people to look after the trust.

A 'trust' in this sense is a formal and important thing, so I wouldn't use an informal, casual expression like 'get up a group of people'.

Say something like We are selecting a groupof people.

Best wishes, Clive
