Get to know us and how we work
We focus on three key areas of need
Tackling Poverty
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.
Lifeshare in Manchester which has been helping the homeless since 1984 is a great example. We will continue to support over the long term charities such as Lifeshare, Love Marlborough Kids Meals C in Wiltshire and Blooming Blossom Trust in London.
People in Need
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.
Saving Lives & Improving Health
Our strong relationship with Alder Hey Children’s Hospital and Institute in the Park demonstrate our commitment to improving the lives of our children. We support the funding of essential equipment and research into childhood diseases.
Both charities are Partner Charities.

Although this year’s Grant Budget was set at £45,000 , it has been increased to £50,000 because of the quality of applications we are getting. The revised budget has now been fully committed with the pipeline for next year growing strongly.
We were able to make more grants during 2023/24 and 2024/25 to charities dedicated to dealing with homelessness and poverty . We have set up our Homeless Hub with a ring-fenced budget to support local charities tackling the crisis of homelessness.
Our pipeline continues to grow but great submissions are always welcome. New approved applications could receive funding in 2025/26 starting on 1 July 2025. Plan ahead and apply early.
Last year we approved 10 grants totalling nearly £41,000.
This year we approved 11 grants totalling nearly £53,000.
