Audrey Wilson Charitable Settlement

The Trust funds generalist charitable purposes benefiting communities and people. Supported causes span environment, health, education, welfare, faith, and disability, among others, typically as unrestricted core funding. Examples include grants to organisations such as Book Aid International and the Royal National Institute for Deaf People, reflecting a wide thematic remit. It supports charities operating throughout England and Wales, with no geographic preference beyond the registered area. The Trust prefers established organisations with proven track records and substantial public impact, rather than small or emerging groups, and funds mainstream public-benefit causes rather than targeted programmes or capital projects.

Only UK-registered charities are eligible to apply, with no religious, beneficiary, or intervention-specific criteria. The Trust favours medium-to-large established organisations with proven track records and substantial public impact. Unsolicited applications are accepted, though success is rare without prior connections to the trustees. There are no geographic restrictions beyond being a registered charity in England and Wales.

The Trust avoids targeted programmes, capital projects, or unproven initiatives. It does not typically support small or emerging organisations, nor does it fund specific interventions or measurable impact frameworks.

Grants are typically unrestricted core funding, awarded at the trustees' sole discretion. The Trust welcomes unsolicited applications, but success is rare without prior connections. Funding decisions are based on trustee judgement rather than formal impact frameworks or proactive agendas.
