register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout East End Family Trust
The East End Family Trust is a grant-making charity established in 2008 through a family trust deed. Governed by three trustees who exercise absolute discretion, the Trust is rooted in evangelical Christianity. Its mission focuses on propagating the Christian faith, supporting the welfare of disadvantaged children, and international development aid. Guided by values of trustee integrity, faith-informed compassion, and practical humanitarian impact, the Trust operates as a private family trust with a stable, trustee-led approach. The Trust is discreet and does not engage in public fundraising, preferring to maintain a low profile while supporting aligned causes.
What East End Family Trust funds
The Trust funds a range of causes including faith-based evangelism, youth welfare programmes for at-risk or underprivileged children, education, vocational training, community services, and international development aid. Recent grants have supported Christian sports outreach, church-based initiatives, and aid for vulnerable youth. Funding is often provided through unrestricted or project-based grants that can cover core costs or direct delivery of services. Projects may be located in the UK or internationally, with a focus on evangelical Christian outreach and child-focused transformation.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities, with a preference for small to medium-sized grassroots organisations that lack large fundraising capacity. The Trust prioritises groups that are led by or aligned with evangelical Christian values. Projects may be based in the UK or internationally. The Trust does not accept unsolicited applications; grants are made by invitation only at the trustees' discretion, reflecting its private family trust structure.
What East End Family Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not fund non-aligned causes, statutory bodies, or profit-making entities. It focuses exclusively on Christian-led child welfare and global mission work, avoiding organisations or projects that do not share its evangelical Christian ethos.
How they like to fund
The Trust provides both unrestricted and project-based grants, allowing for core costs or direct delivery of activities. Funding decisions are made solely by the trustees at their discretion, and the Trust does not accept unsolicited applications, working instead by invitation only.
