Max Weaver was one of the first CHERUB agents. He made a fortune building office blocks in London and New York. When he died in 1977, aged just forty-one, without a wife or children, Max Weaver left his fortune for the benefit of the children at CHERUB.

The Max Weaver Trust Fund has paid for many of the buildings on CHERUB campus. These include the indoor athletics facilities and library. The trust fund now holds assets worth over £1 billion.

It also helps support cherubs after they retire, paying university fees, helping them to set up their own businesses and providing deposits to help with the purchase of their first homes.

Although CHERUB is reasonably well funded by central government, the facilities on campus would undoubtedly be a lot less luxurious without the fund left to CHERUB by Max Weaver.
