The Alice Noakes Memorial Charitable Trust is a UK grant-maker established in 1994 with a singular focus on animal welfare. Guided by wide trustee discretion, its mission is to alleviate animal suffering and improve wellbeing across species. The Trust supports both charities and individuals, offering a flexible funding approach that prioritises direct benefit to animals. Its consistent ethos since inception has been to fund frontline interventions and public benefit, distinguishing itself through longevity and a dedicated focus on animals. The Trust operates across England, Scotland and Wales, with no regional restrictions or income thresholds.
What Alice Noakes Memorial Charitable Trust funds
The Trust funds projects that directly benefit animal welfare across England, Scotland and Wales. Supported activities include veterinary care, animal rescue and rehabilitation, wildlife conservation, neutering campaigns, and education. Work may involve domestic pets, wildlife, or broader welfare initiatives that deliver clear outcomes for animals. The Trust has supported organisations such as PDSA, the Barn Owl Trust, Saving Wildcats, SNIP International, and Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust. There are no regional restrictions, and the Trust considers a wide range of animal welfare causes, from urgent interventions to long-term improvements.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants include UK-registered charities and, occasionally, individuals working in animal welfare. The Trust has no income thresholds, regional limits, or religious restrictions. However, the work must directly benefit animals rather than people or communities. The Trust welcomes applications from organisations of all sizes, provided their projects align with the focus on animal welfare. Both large established charities and smaller local groups are considered.
What Alice Noakes Memorial Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not fund causes outside animal welfare. Projects that benefit people or communities indirectly rather than directly improving animal wellbeing are not supported. Activities that do not align with the charitable objects of animal welfare are excluded.
How they like to fund
The Trust awards grants at the discretion of its trustees, with a flexible approach to the types of work supported. It funds both established charities and smaller entities or individuals. The Trust welcomes unsolicited applications and considers a range of project costs, provided the work directly benefits animals.
