Unrestricted grants under the Charity’s Responsive grants support small to medium-sized charities where we believe a small grant is more likely to make a difference. Focus areas are very broad. They do not currently support organisations or projects where the main object is: advancement of education, advancement of arts, heritage, culture or science, sport, animal welfare, work linked to the armed forces (including young people’s cadet groups linked to the forces). In the final stages of choosing which charities to support, we place considerable attention on the organisation’s charity accounts in terms of conformity to charity law and indication of a well-managed organisation.
Note that, the final date for receipt of applications will be 1 Feb 2027 as the Trustees will be looking to wind-up The Charity at the end of the financial year ending 31 March 2027.
