About Daisy Trust

The Daisy Trust is a grant-making charity established in 1982, dedicated to supporting disadvantaged residents in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. Its mission is to strengthen the local community by funding projects that benefit as many people as possible, with a focus on hyper-local impact. The Trust operates through volunteer-driven community events, such as fairs and balls, to raise funds for charitable causes. Guided by trustees with deep ties to the borough, it prioritises pragmatic support for overlooked groups and grassroots organisations, aiming to foster social cohesion and address pockets of need within the area.

What Daisy Trust funds

The Trust funds a broad range of causes including poverty and hardship, education and skills, physical and mental health, community development, and support for children, young people, older people, and disabled people. It prefers specific projects that benefit as many people as possible, such as food projects, inclusive school activities, and arts events. All funded work must take place within the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, and the Trust supports local charities and voluntary organisations operating solely in this area.

Who can apply

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and community groups that operate within the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. The Trust prioritises grassroots organisations with strong local roots and direct work in the borough. There are no religious restrictions, and the Trust does not fund individuals. It welcomes unsolicited applications from small to medium-sized local groups.

What Daisy Trust doesn't fund

The Trust does not fund core costs, salaries, or long-term projects. It also excludes individuals and national organisations, focusing instead on specific, time-limited initiatives that benefit the local community.

How they like to fund

The Trust provides one-off grants for specific projects, rather than multi-year funding. It welcomes unsolicited applications and works with local charities and voluntary groups on a rolling basis, with trustees reviewing applications as they are received.
