This Foundation supports small UK charities that work in one of their five areas of interest – children, youth, the elderly, social and medical research. It particularly likes to support projects where their funding can make a real difference.

To apply, you must be a UK based charity with an annual income of less than £1 million.

Your proposal should be for a UK project and the amount requested should not be more than 25% of your annual income.

The trustees meet annually in November to approve grants. 

Applications must be received no later than 31 August in order to be considered for inclusion in the next meeting. They must be submitted in writing by either email or post.
