Who are we?

A small independent grant making foundation supporting energetic and highly efficient charities making a meaningful difference to people’s lives

Get to know us and how we work

We focus on three key areas of need

Raising living standards in the poorest areas of our country is a major challenge . We find that local charities are often directly involved in helping families make meaningful changes to their lives.
Caring in Bristol, one of our Homeless Hub charities, which has been helping the homeless since 1987 is a great example. We will continue to support long term charities such as Caring in Bristol, Love Marlborough Kids Meals in Wiltshire and Blooming Blossom Trust in London.

Stockdales is a charity in Sale Cheshire which is dedicated to supporting people with a wide range of complex needs, bringing independence and quality to their lives.
It is tremendously rewarding to partner with Stockdales to make a real difference to people who ask for little and bring such joy.
Stockdales is a Partner Charity.

Our strong relationships over many years with Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool and the University of Derby demonstrate our commitment to improving the lives of our children and those suffering from dementia. Both are Partner Charities. We support the funding of essential equipment and research.

We have three grant hubs

Small group of well established, efficient and superbly managed charities with proven track records of delivering long term projects. We work closely to agree strategy and priorities that are translated into quality programmes needing funding over time .

Our Homeless Hub focuses on working in partnership with local charities dealing with homelessness. There is no limit to the number of charities we partner but each one will have a proven track record of effective support to homeless people in their area.

We support smaller charities often dependent upon volunteers that deliver focused services to their local communities. This group of charities, between them, cover a wide range of activities. Our aim is to help secure their financial strength, grow their reach and perhaps undertake new challenges.

Our Grant Budget this year

Our grant budget for 2026/27 is £60,000
