This trust offers small grants to support organisations, causes, and individuals which reflect the family history, as well as current causes and issues.

The key areas of focus are:

• young people in the UK with an emphasis on education and health
• refugees arriving and living in the UK
• promotion of the arts.

The family-run Trust supports 10-20 charitable organisations each year and can be approached by individuals or charities, seeking one-off or repeat donations.

Typically, grants are in the range of £5,000 to £20,000 per year, for up to three years.

They endeavour to support projects with a clearly outlined objective or end goal and also offer governance, input and time, as needed.

Application is made by a short online form.

Bi-annual meetings are held to review applications and realise future projects.
