The Woodward Charitable Trust

Core revenue grants, generally up to £3,000, are available for smaller registered charities in the UK working to support disadvantaged families, isolated children and young people, and prisoners and ex-offenders.

Who can apply: registered UK charities, Community Interest Companies, Charitable Incorporated Organisations and exempt charities (an exempt charity has charitable status and is required to comply with charity law) with an annual income of under £200,000. Please note that the Trust no longer funds organisations based outside of the UK nor those primarily working overseas.

Key words: Disadvantaged Families, Isolated Children and Young People, Prisoners and Ex-Offenders, United Kingdom.

The Woodward Charitable Trust only makes grants for core costs rather than specific projects as the Trust recognises that smaller charities can find these hard to fund. The Trust hopes that this will have a more direct impact on the organisations that they choose to fund.

The Trust likes projects that promote community cohesion and the development of skills that will change the outlook and outcomes for the users. Organisations that promote volunteering and involve both past and present users in their operations or management are encouraged.
