The C H Dixon Charitable Trust, established in 1981, is a traditional broad-purpose grantmaker dedicated to advancing general charitable purposes for the public benefit across England. Its mission is to support the welfare and wellbeing of communities and mankind. Guided by robust governance policies, it takes a non-partisan, inclusive approach, enabling flexible support for diverse charitable activities without rigid thematic constraints. The Trust funds a wide array of causes demonstrating clear public benefit, including health and bereavement services, community priorities, project work, core costs, and capital initiatives such as buildings, facilities, and open spaces.
