daisychainbenevolentfund.co.ukAbout Daisychain Benevolent Fund Trust
The Daisychain Benevolent Fund Trust, established in 2008, is a community-driven charity dedicated to preserving health and relieving sickness among children and young adults. Operating through a network of charity shops, volunteers, and trustees, it raises and reinvests funds into paediatric healthcare. Its ethos prioritises practical, immediate impact via collaborations with local hospitals. Distinctively, its shop-funded, volunteer-led model delivers tangible, place-based interventions.
What Daisychain Benevolent Fund Trust funds
The Trust funds project-specific initiatives that enhance youth health outcomes, including medical equipment, ward refurbishments, specialist nurses, youth support coordinators, and cancer care services. Grants target paediatric wards, hospital units, and aligned charities delivering frontline services in children's and young people's health, with a focus on gaps unmet by statutory funding. Their work is concentrated in the West Midlands and neighbouring English counties.
Who can apply
Only UK registered charities that are medium-to-large hospital units or established national charities with local delivery in the West Midlands and neighbouring counties are considered. The Trust prioritises organisations that provide frontline paediatric services and address gaps in statutory funding. Unsolicited applications are not accepted; funding is directed through existing relationships.
What Daisychain Benevolent Fund Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not fund core or unrestricted costs, small grassroots groups, or causes outside their paediatric and geographic focus of the West Midlands and neighbouring English counties.
How they like to fund
Funding is project-specific, directed through existing relationships rather than open applications. The Trust supports multi-year initiatives where appropriate, including capital items like equipment and refurbishments, as well as staff costs such as specialist nurses. Grants are made via a collaborative, needs-led approach with partner hospitals and charities.
