The Trust only make grants for ongoing core funding to groups which support: • Elderly people • Children and young people aged 5 – 25 • People with physical impairments, learning difficulties or mental health challenges • Social welfare – people trying to overcome life-limiting problems of a social, rather than medical, origin (such as addiction, relationship difficulties, abuse, offending) • Education and learning (with a particular interest in people who are educationally • disadvantaged, whether adults or children)

Registered charities that have been formally established for a minimum of three years can apply for grants of up to £3,000.

Most of our grants are for more than one year because we like to fund ongoing needs.
