register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Amen Corner Trust
The Amen Corner Trust is a registered charity advancing the Christian faith in accordance with Church of England doctrine. Established to promote religious services, spiritual education, missionary activities, and aligned charitable initiatives, it embodies conservative Anglican values of stewardship, faith-based community support, and direct religious impact. Governed by trustees, the Trust prioritises strengthening local faith communities through modest, targeted grants that uphold historic Anglican principles. Its grant-making is invite-only and trustee-led, reflecting a faith-pure model focused on practical Christian witness rather than broader social causes.
What Amen Corner Trust funds
The Trust funds church repairs, parish projects, faith-based education programmes, community outreach, missionary endeavours, and poverty relief strictly within Church of England parameters. Emphasis is placed on practical Christian witness, so support goes to activities that directly nurture faith communities and spiritual growth. Geographically, the Trust concentrates on the Wandsworth area of London, though it also assists related work elsewhere that aligns with its objects.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants include local churches, grassroots faith initiatives, and individuals in ministry or religious study who are closely tied to Anglican missions. Organisations must be UK registered charities. While there are no formal income thresholds, the Trust favours smaller entities. Its primary geographic focus is the Wandsworth area, so applicants with a strong local connection there are particularly welcome.
What Amen Corner Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not support secular projects, non-Anglican faiths, or unrestricted core costs unrelated to its mission. Activities that do not directly advance the Christian faith in accordance with Church of England doctrine are excluded.
How they like to fund
Funding is invite-only; unsolicited applications are not accepted. Grants are decided discretionarily by the trustees on a case-by-case basis. The Trust typically provides one-off grants for specific projects rather than ongoing core costs, with a focus on practical Christian witness over administrative overhead.
