Key takeaways

  • The annual report and register give no grants figure and no grant range, so the size of any award cannot be judged from published information.
  • Work in education, child welfare, teacher development, school facilities, or health and hygiene in schools and children's homes is the closest fit, and the stated geographic priorities are Uganda and the United Kingdom.
  • No application process is published in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so the contact given is the only route, and a short enquiry asking whether a proposal would suit is the sensible first step before writing one.
  • The trust describes working with a local team and UK-based trustees and building partnerships with supporters, which suggests that relationships may matter, but nothing published says how competitive its giving is.
  • No exclusions or eligibility conditions are stated, so no kind of organisation is ruled out.
