Thomas Wall Trust

The Thomas Wall Trust, which has its origins in Wall’s sausages and meat pies and Wall’s ice-cream (introduced to protect workers because sales of meat products declined during the summer), has introduced a new website and online application process.
The Thomas Wall Trust awards grants up to £1,000 to smaller UK charities that are actively responding to the educational and social needs of their communities.
The Trust is particularly keen on supporting projects that are innovative in some way.
Grant awards are specifically for project costs.
The Trust awards grants to approximately 30 organisations each year.
Applicants can apply for a maximum of three grants over three years totalling £3,000.
During the year ending 31 July 2017, the Trust awarded 30 grants (2016: 31) to charitable organisations, totalling £28,987 (2016: £29,169).
PLEASE NOTE: UK registered charities applying to the Trust must have an annual income of less than £100,000.
In addition to its donations to charitable organisations, the Trust made 60 (2016: 47) awards to individuals, totalling £37,632 (2016: £35,899).
Grants to individuals are normally for training and educational purposes.
Grants are not available for:
o Building or redevelopment work;
o Projects which take place within hospital, nursing or residential care settings;
o Medical research;
o Almshouses;
o General running costs;
o Projects outside the UK;
o Organisations that are not registered charities;
o Charities that were established less than two years ago (for Charity Commission auditing purposes);
o Charities with an income of more than £100,000 per annum; or
o Requests from small branches of larger charities, if the small branch does not have its own independent set of accounts.
The Trust meets twice a year, in July and November.
Applications for the July meeting must be received by the end of May and for the November meeting by the end of September.
The next deadline is therefore Thursday 31 May 2018.
Applicants are required to register on the Trust's new website to be able to access the application form.
