General Grants

The Albert Hunt Trust is a grant giving charitable trust that provides grants to UK registered charities that are based and working locally in the UK.

Applications will be considered from local charities that:

• Provide hospice care.
• Provide support for the homeless.
• Promote health and well being. Areas of support under this heading have included physical and learning disability, physical and mental health, plus social challenge and deprivation. Organisations in this category should have an annual income of below £250,000. However, the trust we will look at capital projects, such as significant equipment purchases or building works irrespective of the income levels

Note: Although the majority of grant recipients are registered charities, from time to time the trust may consider applications from other types of organisations which are pursuing charitable causes and where aims and objectives are ‘not for profit.’

The funding can be used for ‘a range of purposes and could include’:

• Single awards for capital projects (building / equipment / renovation).
• Grants for core funding to include staff costs.
• Ongoing running costs for specific projects.

The type, size and time period of the award is decided on the basis of the perceived ‘difference’ that the Trust’s support will make to the organisation, to the project and to the targeted beneficiaries.
