William Heather Will Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Trust funds medical, health and sickness needs, but only for residents of Fernhurst, Camelsdale, Lynchmere, Hayling Island or an area within 25 miles of Midhurst and Easebourne, so check that your beneficiaries live there before you apply.
- Its funding for treatment or equipment is discretionary, and it applies only where the person's income and capital cannot meet the cost and the NHS or Social Services cannot provide it within a reasonable time, so a request that falls outside those conditions is unlikely to fit.
- The charity publishes no address, email or phone number, and says applications are usually requested from local GP practices and the headteachers of local primary and secondary schools, so the practical route is through one of those referrers.
- No grant range is stated, and annual giving is about £49,219, so plan a request that is modest in relation to that total and ask the referrer what amount is realistic.
- Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and each is considered individually.
