This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.

Key takeaways

  • The Trust does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small charity should not send it a cold application; its own information says it is by invitation only.
  • If your work fits its themes of care for children, education, wellbeing for the elderly, tolerance in the community or healthcare, know that trustees judge requests against those causes and the value a donation would add to the organisation.
  • The annual report gives annual giving of £264,378, but no grant range is stated, so it is not clear what a typical request size is.
  • Because trustees decide by agreement which charities to support, the realistic route in is to be invited, so a cold approach is unlikely to be worth your time.
