The Barratt Family Charitable Trust is a family-led grant-making charity based in Norfolk, established in 2001. Governed by trustees including Charles William Legh Barratt and Caroline Barratt, it operates with a lean, volunteer-driven model and no paid staff. The Trust pursues broad general charitable purposes, offering flexible, unrestricted grants to organisations rather than individuals. Its ethos is pragmatic and trustee-discretionary, adapting to local priorities without rigid thematic agendas.

The Trust works primarily with small to medium-sized registered charities and Norfolk-based community groups, emphasising grassroots efforts with proven local impact. It does not have dominant cause areas, instead responding to diverse community needs as trustees see fit.

Eligible applicants are limited to UK-registered charities and Norfolk-based community groups. The Trust favours small to medium-sized entities with proven local impact; no formal income thresholds apply, though larger organisations are less common. It prioritises organisations that demonstrate grassroots, locally-rooted work benefiting the community in Norfolk.
