B G Campbell Trust Fund

The B G Campbell Trust Fund is a specialized charitable trust dedicated exclusively to providing welfare support for poor or necessitous current and former employees of Allied Colloids Limited—a chemical manufacturing company historically based in West Yorkshire—and their dependents. Established to embody solidarity and responsibility toward this specific community, the fund operates with a singular, unwavering mission: alleviating financial hardship through direct personal grants. Managed entirely by Leeds Community Foundation as its sole trustee, it sustains its work via income from long-term investments, ensuring consistent, impartial grant-making without reliance on public donations.

The trust funds personal welfare grants addressing distress from illness, unemployment, bereavement, or unexpected financial difficulties, tailored to individual circumstances rather than projects, organizations, or broader causes. It supports a wide range of needs within its closed beneficiary group, recently aiding over 250 individuals annually with total expenditures of £600,000–£780,000.

Eligibility is strictly limited to those with a direct employment or dependency link to Allied Colloids Limited; charities, community groups, and unrelated individuals or entities are ineligible, with no geographic, income, age, or religious restrictions beyond this core criterion. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis via initial phone enquiry or contact to Leeds Community Foundation to request a form—no online system or fixed deadlines exist, and assessments are case-by-case with flexible payment timelines.

Distinctively narrow in scope, the fund rejects unsolicited charity proposals, organizational funding, capital projects, or capacity-building, setting it apart as a targeted safety net solely for Allied Colloids' affiliated community facing hardship, with no public calls or thematic expansions.
