Brewers' Company General Charitable Trust

The Trust funds a wide range of causes including education and skills, heritage, poverty and hardship, mental health, armed forces, community development, disability, children and young people, and older people. They have supported organisations such as the Children's Sailing Trust, which provides sailing and water activities for young people; Blind in Business, which helps blind and partially sighted people into work; Off the Streets, a homeless charity; and Mind, the mental health charity. The Trust also supports the Guildhall Library, the Lord Mayor's Appeal, and Pub is the Hub. Grants are made to organisations across England and Wales.

The Trust makes grants to organisations, including registered charities and schools, that have approached them on an ad hoc basis. Beneficiaries include children, young people, older people, disabled people, veterans, homeless people, and the general public. There is no restriction on the amount of funding requested, and multi-year funding is available for projects that run over successive years.

The Trust does not fund organisations that have not approached them first, as they only consider ad hoc approaches. They also do not fund causes that fall outside their general charitable purposes as determined by the Court.
