register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Anand & Sethi Family Charity Trust
The Anand & Sethi Family Charity Trust is a family-led foundation based in Leicester, UK, governed by the Anand and Sethi families. Established under English and Welsh law, it embodies Sikh-rooted values of social responsibility and community giving. With full trustee discretion and support from the family business, it prioritises adaptable, hands-on grant-making to maximise public benefit through unpaid family stewardship. The Trust funds a broad spectrum of UK-registered charities, focusing on health, children and young people, disability, and community projects that deliver measurable social impact. It primarily supports organisations serving families in hardship, disabled individuals, and welfare-enhancing communities, with a strong emphasis on established charities, especially those in Leicestershire. While mainly UK-focused, it has also backed some activities in India. Distinctively generalist and discreet, the Trust does not accept unsolicited applications, relying instead on trustee-identified opportunities.
What Anand & Sethi Family Charity Trust funds
The Trust supports a wide range of charitable activities centred on health, children and young people, disability, and community projects. It funds organisations that work with families in hardship, disabled individuals, and communities that enhance welfare. Grants can cover project costs, core running costs, and occasional capital or programme aid. While the Trust's focus is primarily on charities based in Leicestershire, it has also supported activities in India. The Trust values established charities with proven impact and prefers to back causes that deliver measurable social benefit. It does not restrict itself to narrow mandates, allowing flexibility to support a broad spectrum of needs.
Who can apply
The Trust is open to UK-registered charities of any size or income, with a preference for established organisations that can demonstrate proven impact. It particularly values charities serving families in hardship, disabled individuals, and community welfare projects. While the Trust has a strong focus on Leicestershire, it does not restrict applications based on geographic base within the UK. Beneficiaries should be aligned with the Trust's focus on health, youth, disability, and community. The Trust does not accept unsolicited applications, so charities are approached directly by the trustees.
