The Earle and Stuart Charitable Trust, established in 2009, is a generalist grant-making trust focused on advancing public benefit in Norfolk. Guided by robust governance and an independent, unpaid trustee structure, the trust provides flexible support without thematic restrictions. It funds charities, voluntary bodies, and individuals in need, supporting a wide array of initiatives including research, health, education, and wellbeing. The trust does not accept unsolicited applications; instead, it selects grantees at trustee discretion on an ad hoc basis. Its enduring local focus and governance-driven flexibility make it ideal for Norfolk-based charities invited or identified by trustees seeking unrestricted support.
What Earle and Stuart Charitable Trust funds
The trust supports a broad range of causes including mental health, education, health, community wellbeing, and services for elderly people. It funds research, project work, core costs, and individual needs, with a particular emphasis on activities that deliver public good in Norfolk. Examples include mental health studentships at the University of East Anglia's Norwich Institute for Healthy Aging. The trust's non-prescriptive approach allows responsive funding across diverse themes without fixed restrictions.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities, community groups, and academic institutions operating exclusively in Norfolk. The trust also supports individuals in need. No income thresholds apply, accommodating small voluntary groups to larger entities. The trust prioritises activities that benefit the general public and local organisations in Norfolk. However, it does not accept unsolicited applications; grantees are selected at trustee discretion.
What Earle and Stuart Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The trust has no fixed exclusions beyond geographic scope—it only funds work in Norfolk—and non-charitable purposes. It does not accept unsolicited applications, so organisations not identified or invited by trustees are unlikely to receive support.
