Belling Charitable Settlement
About This Funder
The Belling Charitable Settlement is a UK charitable trust established in 1964 by Charles Reginald Belling, founder of the pioneering British domestic appliance manufacturer, with enduring family stewardship. Its mission centers on advancing education—particularly scholarships and awards in electrical engineering and technical disciplines—and relieving poverty among current and retired personnel, dependents, and families linked to the electrical appliance industry. Core values emphasize technical excellence, educational ambition, and practical support for industry-affiliated individuals, extending to arts, culture, heritage, science, and training for children, young people, and the elderly.
It funds scholarships (e.g., IET Launch Scholarships for engineering students like Jasmine Brittan in 2022), educational initiatives, hardship grants, and project support for organizations, prioritizing those tied to Belling's legacy in Cornwall, north London (Enfield), Hertfordshire, and Lancashire. Beneficiaries include individuals facing economic hardship and groups advancing sector-specific education or poverty relief.
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities, academic institutions, and community groups, with a preference for small/medium-sized entities (typically under £1 million income) demonstrating strong electrical industry connections or target geography; no formal income thresholds apply. Grants range from £1,000–£10,000 for individuals to £3,000–£25,000 for organizations, awarded biannually (spring May/June, autumn November/December) via trustee decisions—strictly invite-only, with no unsolicited applications or published forms; recipients are approached through networks.
Distinctive for its niche industrial focus and historical ties, it avoids broad generalist causes, unrestricted grants, or non-sector projects, making it ideal for engineering education and appliance industry support in specified regions.
