The Broome Family Charitable Trust is a small private grant-making charity established in 2000 and based in Stockport, Cheshire. Managed by two unremunerated trustees with deep local knowledge, its mission is to advance inclusion and practical improvements for people with disabilities through targeted philanthropy. The Trust embodies a family-led, discreet, and relational ethos, prioritising meaningful impact in Greater Manchester, Liverpool, Lancashire, Stockport, and Cheshire via direct grants to familiar organisations, eschewing broad strategies or public fanfare.
What Broome Family Charitable Trust funds
The Trust exclusively funds disability-related initiatives, including direct services, special needs provision, health and social care, access improvements, palliative care, advocacy, and occasional capital items. Beneficiaries are local people with disabilities, with grantees such as Sue Ryder and the National Deaf Children's Society exemplifying its support for specialist care and community-based interventions rather than generalist causes. All funding is directed to organisations operating within the specified regions of Greater Manchester, Liverpool, Lancashire, Stockport, and Cheshire.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are strictly UK-registered charities operating in the specified regions, with a preference for small to medium-sized, established local entities. The Trust favours organisations with hyperlocal roots and a clear focus on disability work. Unsolicited applications are not accepted; funding is trustee-discretionary and relational, supporting known charities without published processes.
What Broome Family Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not support work that falls outside its disability focus or geographic regions. It also avoids speculative proposals and does not fund organisations with religious restrictions.
How they like to fund
Funding is trustee-discretionary and relational, supporting known charities without published processes. The Trust works by invitation rather than accepting unsolicited approaches, and its grants are directed to familiar organisations with which it has established relationships.
