Grants are available for charitable organisations in Greater London which provide services for young people (13-25 years) or the elderly.

Organisations within the boundaries of the M25 with an annual income of under £1million can apply for grants of £1,000 to £5,000, according to the need and the project.

In the financial year ending 5 April 2025, 19 grants totalling £62,118 were awarded.

The Trust is happy to consider applications for a wide variety of purposes, such as outreach, engagement, equipment, furnishings, running costs, helplines. Local charities are favoured over national ones.

Capital appeals are not accepted, however appeals for alterations to existing buildings to comply with health and safety regulations will be considered.

Additionally, to be eligible, applicants must not have free unrestricted reserves to the value of more than one year of the organisation’s annual expenditure.

Multi-year funding is considered.

With regard to projects targeting vulnerable young people, they have a special interest in supporting NEET youth and the prevention of young people from offending, as well as the integration/rehabilitation of ex-offenders.

Trustees meet twice a year, in April and October to consider applications. These must be submitted through their online form at least six weeks in advance of their meetings.
