Elise Pilkington Charitable Trust

The Elise Pilkington Charitable Trust is a registered charity (no. 278332) with the following charitable objectives:

1) To prevent cruelty to equine animals, to relieve suffering and distress among such equine animals including live horses being transported country to country for butchery if such animals are in need of care and protection by reason of sickness, maltreatment, poor circumstances or other similar causes;
2) To promote the relief of the elderly; and
3) To further such other exclusively charitable purposes.

Grants are awarded for capital projects only.

On-going running costs such as salaries are not supported.

Successful applicants may not apply for a further three years.

In general, the Trust awards more grants for charities working with the elderly.

Equine welfare grants are normally only considered from charities that are members of the National Equine Welfare Council (NEWC) or charities that are proactively working towards membership of NEWC.

The Trustees generally meet twice a year in the spring and the autumn to consider grant applications.

The next application deadline is Thursday 13 April 2017.
