About This Funder
CRH Charitable Trust, founded in the 19th century to operate a specialist psychiatric hospital, upholds an enduring mission to relieve suffering from mental illness and associated conditions while promoting research into alleviation and cure. Core values emphasize unwavering commitment to mental health welfare, professional expertise, long-term sustainability, and measurable progress through targeted interventions. Their grantmaking philosophy prioritizes partnerships with charities demonstrating sector knowledge, local engagement, and robust post-grant continuity, believing systemic change arises from evidence-informed service provision, innovative research, and sustained community impact in mental health and disability support.
Exclusively funding mental illness and mental disability initiatives, they support service delivery including practical support programmes, therapy projects, mental health counselling, peer support groups, therapeutic activities, advocacy for psychiatric needs, community-based mental health services, youth mental health interventions, respite care for mental health crises, day services addressing isolation and anxiety, outpatient support for depression and trauma, and research partnerships exploring innovative treatments for complex mental health conditions and learning disabilities linked to psychiatric disorders. Beneficiaries encompass individuals with mental illness including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, severe depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and associated addictions; people with mental disabilities such as intellectual impairments co-occurring with psychiatric issues; children and young people aged 5-25 experiencing early-onset mental health challenges; adults in crisis requiring person-centred therapy; families and carers supporting those with enduring mental health needs. They champion trauma-informed, preventative approaches, community-led outreach, holistic therapeutic models, and evidence-based research driving cures and relief.
They exclude individuals, unrestricted core funding, broad appeals, and non-mental health work, funding only targeted projects with essential capital items. Distinctive for historic psychiatric roots, Royal College of Psychiatrists oversight, and niche focus on North West England communities—urban Manchester youth facing isolation, Lancashire families in mental health distress, Cheshire residents with disabilities—they prioritize charities with local expertise, sustainability plans, and proven impact on underserved psychiatric populations, differentiating through conservative endowment preservation and demand for enduring, expert-led mental health advancements.
