Key takeaways

  • The trust's stated focus is heritage preservation, so an organisation whose work centres on that area fits most clearly, and its stated purposes name no other field it supports.
  • No grant range is given, so ask the trust what size of request it considers rather than assuming one; its most recent annual report shows £543,767 awarded in total.
  • The Charity Commission registers its area of operation as throughout England and Wales, and no narrower geographic focus is stated.
  • Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but the trustees meet annually to review strategy and performance, so allow for that when timing an approach.
  • The trustees say they remain flexible about the type of organisations they support, and no exclusions are stated.
