Charitable organisations can apply for funding from South West charity Austin and Hope Pilkington Trust for projects that directly support the theme selected by the Trustees for the respective year.
Grant awards are intended to support organisations undertaking projects in a variety of fields and work on a three-year rotation system, with different areas of interests prioritised for funding each year:
- 2015: Community and Medical (research and non-research). For Medical research, consideration will only be given to projects relating to mental health. For Medical non- research, priority will be given to projects relating to mental health, but other areas of medical work will be considered.
- 2016: Children and Youth.
- 2017: Music and the Arts; the Elderly.
Grant awards are normally between £1,000 and £3,000 for one year only. Occasionally awards up to £10,000 are made for medical research projects.
In 2013 the Trust made 191 awards totalling just under £300,000.Grants included:
O Family Centres: £1,000 to Ipswich Community Playbus towards their playbus, and grants to various Home Start centres across the country;
O Arts activities: £3,000 to Childhood First towards theatre trips, and £1,000 to Spitalfields Music toward its 'Takeover' project; and
O Counselling and Support: £1,000 to After Adoption for its TALK Adoption project; £1,000 to Family Matters toward specialist counselling and therapy; and £3,000 to the "Who Cares?" Trust toward 'A Young Person's Guide to Leaving Care'.
