The Annandale Charitable Trust, established in 1995 by the late Mrs Blofeld, is an unincorporated discretionary grant-making charity. It advances general charitable purposes by providing grants to UK-registered charities, primarily in England and Wales, with occasional overseas support. Managed by a single trustee with professional administration, the Trust operates as a flexible generalist funder, guided by the founder's vision of empowering other charities for public benefit. The Trust prioritises animal welfare, cancer relief including hospices, children and young people, health and medical causes, and support for the elderly. It funds project-related activities such as equipment, programmes, and service delivery. Beneficiaries include national, regional, and diverse groups with a focus on improving health, wellbeing, and opportunities for vulnerable populations. The Trust favours organisations with established governance and no strict income limits, though it tends to support medium to larger charities. Distinctively broad yet patterned in its support, the Trust operates as a stable, low-profile generalist resource.
