This is a UK-based charity dedicated to animal welfare, which provides funding to support approved animal welfare charities working to rescue and care for animals that have suffered cruelty.

The Trust’s main objectives are protecting animals from suffering and mistreatment, promoting research to reduce animal use in scientific experiments, and ensuring proper accommodation for animals during transportation.

Their grants are for capital projects and running costs, with the aim of supporting a wide range of activities, including providing shelter, medical treatment, and care for abused or neglected animals.

Applications must be sent by post and are usually considered once a year in July.

The next closing date for applications is the 31 March 2026.
