Details

The Bromley Trust funds specialist charities that are helping to bring about positive social change through their work with marginalised people in the justice system or people who need human rights protection in the UK. They fund in two themes:

Human Rights

The Human Rights grants programme currently focuses on funding charities working to protect the dignity and rights of people seeking sanctuary (refugees and asylum seekers) in the UK. Successful applicants will be using the expertise developed through their direct frontline work with people seeking sanctuary to have a wider impact and help bring about improvements to policy or practice in this area. The Trust has a particular interest in supporting work around immigration detention.

Prison Reform

The Prison Reform grants programme currently focuses on funding charities working to bring about a more humane and effective UK prison system that supports people’s rehabilitation. Successful applicants will be using the expertise developed through their direct frontline work with people in prison to have a wider impact and help bring about improvements to policy or practice in this area.

Applicants must be able to:

• Demonstrate that they have a clear intent to bring about wider change, in addition to their service delivery work, and a plan for how they will seek to achieve this
• Work collaboratively with others and have the expertise and ability to influence decision-makers and bring about improvements in policy or practice
• Build meaningful relationships with the people they work with
• Show a commitment to the involvement of the people they are working with in organisational decision-making
• Explain the evidence base for their proposed approach and have a commitment to ongoing learning and reflecting on their impact.
