East Court Charitable Trust

The Trust funds health advancement projects addressing mental health counselling, therapy for complex health needs, physical disabilities, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, and ADHD. Support extends to respite care, after-school clubs, therapeutic activities, peer support groups, and person-centred interventions to prevent family carer exhaustion. Elderly care combating social isolation is supported through day services, befriending, and holistic activities for older people with mobility challenges or dementia. Overseas aid targets food insecurity, poverty alleviation, and emergency support for refugees. Environment and conservation initiatives include habitat restoration, green space preservation, heritage education, and climate resilience projects. The Trust operates throughout England and Wales.

Registered charities and community groups can apply. The Trust prioritises vulnerable children, young people at risk of exclusion, isolated elderly, and rural communities in England and Wales. It values evidence-based, trauma-informed, grassroots organisations with lived experience leadership. Unsolicited applications are welcomed.

The Trust does not fund activities that fall outside its charitable objects, such as non-charitable purposes or unrelated sectors. It also does not provide major unrestricted grants or capital builds, focusing instead on project and core costs that align with its priorities.

The Trust welcomes unsolicited applications and emphasises flexible stewardship, providing adaptable funding that can support both project and core costs. It values partnerships with grassroots organisations and favours evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches, reflecting its generalist ethos and commitment to diverse interventions.
