Details

The Trust funds charities and voluntary organisations working in the areas of health, lifelong learning, community development and social care, and encourages applications from organisations where their grants can make the biggest impact.

Their main focus is on the following areas:

• Health: To support people and families living with cancer in deprived communities by improving access to practical, emotional, and ongoing healthcare support. The Trust will prioritise organisations delivering community-based cancer support, rehabilitation, and prevention services that reduce health inequalities.
• Lifelong learning: To enable young people aged 16–30 from disadvantaged backgrounds to gain the skills, confidence, and experience needed to secure employment and progress into stable, meaningful careers. Grants will prioritise structured skill-building, vocational learning, and transition-to-employment programmes.
• Social care: To support children and young people, up to age 18, who have experienced rape or sexual abuse, by funding trauma-informed services that provide access to safety, therapeutic recovery, safeguarding education, and specialist advocacy.

Additionally, a particular focus within each of these priorities is how the projects demonstrate a commitment to improving diversity, equality and inclusion within the community.

The Trust will consider applications for funding for most expenditure items, including salary and running costs.
