Key takeaways
- Brampton Trust works by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to succeed and the sensible first step is to find a way to be invited to the Trust's attention.
- Its giving goes mainly to one hospital, the Hospital of St John & St Elizabeth, for its general purposes and its Community Nursing Service, and its stated theme is community nursing, so a charity whose work is outside that area is unlikely to fit.
- The Trust does not fund any other Roman Catholic charity, so a Roman Catholic charity should not expect a grant from it.
- Its trustees consider projects as they arise and liaise with the Hospital about any help needed, and the grant range is not stated, so a realistic request size is best raised with the Trust directly rather than guessed.

Priority Areas
The Trust's primary purpose is to support a hospital through grants for its general purposes and Community Nursing Service. While the hospital continues to be carried on to the trustees’ satisfaction, the Trust pays it income; failing that, trustees may pay the income to another Roman Catholic charity, and they have similar discretion over capital. Trustees review grant-making policy annually against the Trust's objectives and public benefit. The Trust describes its benefit to the public as indirect, through the hospital's own charitable purposes and activities, which include management and funding of a hospice providing free care and treatment to patients without distinction.
