The Britford Bridge Trust

Grants, generally for between £10,000 and £50,000, are available to UK registered charities working in the UK and/or overseas to prevent poverty, advance education, health and the arts, culture, heritage and science. UK charities working in the fields of community development, citizenship, amateur sports, the environment and supporting people in need will also be considered.

The Britford Bridge Trust‘s main activity is the provision of financial support/grants to registered charities which further the Trust’s wide-reaching charitable objectives for the benefit of the general public throughout the United Kingdom, and also internationally.

When considering which applicants to support, the Trust will prioritise those that help realise its primary charitable purposes. If not, it will be one of its secondary charitable purposes. Please note that charities working at a national and/or international level are preferred, although charities operating at a local and regional level will also be considered, particularly if they’re working in Cambridge, Dorset or Wolverhampton.

Notwithstanding its wide-reaching charitable objects, a primary focus is placed on:

• The prevention or relief of poverty.
  
• The advancement of education.
  
• The advancement of health or the saving of lives, and
  
• The advancement of the arts, culture, heritage or science.

The Trust places a secondary focus on:

• The advancement of citizenship or community development.
  
• The advancement of amateur sport.
  
• The advancement of environmental protection or improvement; and
  
• The relief of those in need, by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage.

While the majority of grants are between £10,000 and £30,000, a number of awards are for significantly higher amounts and can be made over several years.
