Grants are available for UK registered charities seeking to enhance and improve people’s lives through

• Arts: Promoting access to the arts, providing performance development opportunities for early-career artists, and supporting charities that engage young people on the fringes of society through music and drama projects,
• Environment: Conserving the countryside, encouraging voluntary work and active involvement in hands-on activities, particularly those that benefit young people, and supporting rural crafts and skills in heritage conservation,
• Medical Welfare: Supporting charities that alleviate the suffering of adults and children with medical conditions, providing music and art therapy to improve the quality of life, and providing breaks for carer without regular support.
There are three grant-making meetings held annually which take place in March, July and November. Projects should have a start date of at least three months after the meeting date.
