The CRH Charitable Trust is a charity established by Statutory Instrument which distributes income from investments derived from the sale of the former Cheadle Royal Psychiatric Hospital.
The funding is for charitable activities that seek to support children, young people and adults with mental illness and mental disability in north west England.
Grants are available for charitable and not-for-profit organisations in the north west of England, that work with mental illness and mental disability.
There is no specific maximum or minimum grant. Funding is at the discretion of the Trustees.
Most grants range from £5,000 to £15,000 per annum with a maximum of three years funding.
Larger grants may be subject to reducing amounts in the second and third years.
Around 23 charities received a grant in 2020.
Charities or not-for-profit organisations working in north west England may apply.
Applicants should be able to demonstrate how the work will be financed after the Trust's grant has ended.
Priority is given to local organisations. National organisations will need to demonstrate that any spend can be restricted to the local area.
Most forms of revenue expenditure are eligible. Capital costs will not receive priority but can be considered but not relatively small contributions to a large appeal.
Preference for specific pieces of work rather than ‘general operating costs’.
Priority will be given to requests for new work.
The following are not eligible for funding:
- Purposes that would generally be the subject of statutory funding.
- Organisations and projects outside of North West England.
Applications by letter to the Trust Secretary should include brief details of the organisation, information on the purpose of the grant with budget and a copy of the organisation’s most recent audited accounts. It is suggested that narrative should be no more than 2-3 sides of A4.
