THE AUSTIN AND HOPE PILKINGTON TRUST

Application deadline: Tuesday 30 April 2019.

The Austin and Hope Pilkington Trust operates a three-year rotation system, with different fields of interests being funded each year:

o 2019: Children and Young People aged 0-11 years;
o 2020: Music and the arts; the elderly;
o 2021: Homelessness; refugees and asylum seekers.

In the 2019 Children and Young People round, the funders are interested in projects that focus on:

o Child exploitation;
o Mentoring and support;
o Clubs and activities.

The Trust is particularly interested in supporting projects that address the mental health needs of children and young people.

In the current round, which opened on 1 April and closes on 30 April, UK registered charities with an annual income of a least £1 million may apply for a grant of up to £5,000. All applications must relate to children aged 0-11 years.

The Trust’s next grant application round (check the Trust’s website for details of the application deadline) will offer grants up to £1,000 for children and young people projects. Registered charities with an annual income of between £100,000 and £1 million may apply.

Grants are rarely awarded to local charities that are not known by any of the Trustees, so a letter of introduction may be the most pragmatic way to introduce your charity to the Trust.

Further information, together with an application form, is available on the Trust’s website. Applications must be completed online.
