Important notice – extended closure to applications

The Trust temporarily closed for applications at the end of 2024 to facilitate a strategic review and potential changes to its grants programmes. Originally the hope was to complete the review in time to reopen to applications in July 2025, but due to unforeseen circumstances this has not proved to be possible. As a result, the period of closure to new applications has been extended and the Trustees now expect to be able to reopen for applications with the revised programme in place during Spring 2026. The exact date for reopening will be announced on this website in due course.

If your charity has received a grant, it will still be expected to comply with reporting requirements. The Grants Office will be staffed from time to time and if you have any queries, please email us.
