Summary

The Ashworth Charitable Trust is a small grant-making charity. It was created primarily to support humanitarian causes operating locally, nationally and internationally. For the most part, the Trust looks to fund projects and not core funding.

The Trust prefers to help fund humanitarian projects and activities that share this vision and that have any of these characteristics:

• The project or activity has been initiated by people living at the grassroots who are empowered to find the solutions to their own problems
• The project has a relatively simple, clear set of objectives and actions that further the vision of the Trust
• The project develops the capacity of individuals, their communities or their institutions helping them to help themselves
• The project enhances the learning of individuals, their communities or their institutions
• The project’s ‘beneficiaries’ participate in the management and running of the project or activity
• The project’s ‘beneficiaries’ have suffered, or are suffering, from injustice, poverty or personal circumstances that are difficult for the individual to overcome without assistance
