Registered charity 284470 · accounts filings on the Charity Commission register

The Trustees will normally only make grants to registered charities experienced in their chosen field of work and never to individuals. Long-term core funding of appropriate work is the Trust's normal approach, taking the form of money given on a recurring annual basis subject to yearly re-submission and review. The Trust also runs an Awards Scheme in partnership with other organisations.
