Just Helping
Key takeaways
- Just Helping does not appear to run a grant programme.
- The annual report and website describe donations and collection partnerships, with proceeds from the Christmas TreeCycle Appeal supporting local charities that volunteers, partners and the charity's team nominate, so the more useful route may be to ask about being nominated.
- Neither the annual report nor the register gives an annual giving total or a grant range, so no realistic request size can be worked out.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to use the contact shown and ask how local charities are nominated.
- Organisations working with hospices, food banks, youth, health and welfare, environmental, sports or community hub activity will find the stated themes closest to their work.

What they fund
Priority Areas
Just Helping’s work centres on the Christmas TreeCycle Appeal, which raises funds while households have real Christmas trees collected for recycling. Collections are delivered with charities, community groups, local authorities and businesses across the UK. Proceeds support the charity leading a local collection and a wider range of local charities and community organisations, with community donations nominated by volunteers, charity partners and the Just Helping team. The organisations it names among those supported include hospices, food banks, youth charities, health and welfare charities, environmental organisations, sports clubs, volunteer groups and community hubs. Its approach combines fundraising with practical event support and volunteering; the sources describe donations and collection partnerships rather than a grant application programme.
