The Wojtek Memorial Trust was a Scottish Charity (SCO41057) established in 2009 to celebrate the life of Wojtek, "the Soldier Bear", the lives of those who knew him, and their stories during and after the Second World War. The Trust also aimed to promote wider understanding of the many historic and current links between the peoples of Poland and Scotland.
