Chesterhill Charitable Trust Limited

Chesterhill Charitable Trust Limited, a UK-registered charitable company (charity number 1172659) incorporated in August 2016, succeeds an earlier Binstock family-linked entity and is governed by trustees including family members and experienced professionals. Its mission centers on advancing education and development for vulnerable or at-risk young people, supporting the inclusion and rehabilitation of young offenders, and providing relief for individuals and families affected by cancer, dementia, physical, or mental disabilities. With a low-profile, trustee-led approach rooted in family philanthropy, it emphasizes compassionate, targeted interventions to enhance life chances amid social exclusion, youth justice challenges, and serious health issues.

The trust funds direct support services for these beneficiaries through UK-registered charities, including core costs, specific projects like mentoring for young offenders, restorative justice programs, educational inclusion initiatives, crisis support for youth, and mental health or caregiving aid for those with illnesses or disabilities. Examples include £1,000 grants to organizations like the CY Project for youth in crisis and multi-year backing for justice and health-focused groups delivering measurable, frontline impact.

Eligible applicants are exclusively UK-registered charities operating in England, with a preference for small to medium-sized organizations (typically under £1 million turnover) providing direct services; unsolicited applications are not accepted. Grants range from £1,000 to £10,000, awarded ad hoc via trustee meetings several times a year based on recommendations, relationships, or aligned direct approaches (often by letter). It excludes individuals, capital projects, non-UK entities, and anything outside its tight thematic focus, distinguishing it as a discreet, specialist funder for relational, high-need youth and health interventions in England.
