The Iveagh Trust was a component of the Guinness Partnership, a group of housing associations and a UK charity providing affordable housing, among them the Guinness Trust.
The Iveagh Trust was founded in 1890 by Edward Guinness, 1st Earl of Iveagh, great grandson of the founder of the Guinness Brewery, to help homeless people in Dublin and London.
In today's Dublin several buildings in the area of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Patrick Street and Christ Church Cathedral are left. They were all built in 1905 by the Iveagh Trust. These old housings includes Iveagh Public Baths and Iveagh Markets.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Iveagh Trust based in Dublin took responsibility for Ireland. The Guinness Trust extended its objectives outside London in 1962 and today operates in all parts of England. It is not related to the brewery company.
