Sir Robert Geffery's Almshouse Trust

• The Trust's principal object is to support older people in its own almshouse, the Home, and its beneficiaries are residents and former residents of its almshouses who are people of limited means and good character, with preference given to Freemen of the Ironmongers' Company, their widows and dependents.
• Grants for relief in need come only from surplus income after the Home's costs, so a small charity seeking money for its own services is unlikely to fit the Trust's objects, and it should not apply unless its work is for these individuals.
• The annual report's total of £610,223 for its most recent year may include grants to individuals, so it should not be read as a typical award to an organisation, and no grant range or published application process is given, so a realistic request size cannot be judged.
• Since the contact shown is only for getting in touch, a short enquiry asking whether the Trust funds work like yours is the sensible first step before any proposal.
• The Charity Commission register lists Scotland and Northern Ireland as its area of operation, but no geographic focus is stated, so do not treat this as a limit on who may apply.

• Grants paid, year to 31 March 2021; year to 31 March 2022; year to 31 March 2023; year to 31 March 2024: grants to institutions, as reported on the charity register (Part B).
• Grants paid, year to 31 March 2025: grants awarded in the year, as reported in the accounts.
