The Trust supports registered UK charities that work with communities in the UK. The funding is intended to support those in society who face the greatest challenges and whose opportunities are the most limited.
The Trust operates a three-year rotation system, with different fields of interest being funded each year. There are normally four application rounds per year with applications accepted for one month only, usually in February, April, July and September. Charities can only apply for one round per calendar year.
Round 3 will accept applications during the month of July for projects that focus on the theme of Food Poverty. Priority will be given to projects that focus on enabling resilience and independence, in particular food education and cooking skills.
UK registered charities or organisations that are exempt from registration in the UK with an operating income of between £100,000 and £1 million can apply for grants of £1,000.
The September 2024 round which has the same theme of Food Poverty will offer grants of £5,000 to charities with a minimum operating income of £1 million (no maximum income).
Applications will not be accepted from CICs or not-for-profit organisations. The funding cannot be used for capital projects, minibuses or other vehicles.
Deadline: 31 July 2024
