register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Elizabeth Jackson Charitable Trust
The Elizabeth Jackson Charitable Trust is a modest grant-making charity established to perpetuate the legacy of Miss Elizabeth Jackson by supporting rural communities and countryside traditions. Rooted in her personal ethos, the trust prioritises charitable initiatives that sustain rural life, community cohesion, natural preservation, and recreational pursuits in her cherished locales of Barston, Warwickshire, and Great Rollright, Oxfordshire. Managed by a small, unpaid trustee board with low overheads, it embodies a flexible, discretion-driven approach focused on tangible local impact rather than formal strategies.
What Elizabeth Jackson Charitable Trust funds
The trust funds a broad range of rural-aligned activities, including maintenance of village halls and amenities, small capital improvements to community spaces, conservation efforts, heritage preservation, and promotion of countryside recreation. Beneficiaries are typically grassroots community groups, parish initiatives, and small local charities delivering direct benefits like enhanced wellbeing, cultural traditions, and access to nature. All supported work must be rooted in the two focal areas of Barston and Great Rollright.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and community groups operating principally in Barston or Great Rollright, with a strong preference for smaller, locally focused organisations. No religious restrictions apply, and the trust favours modest entities with a clear local footprint. Groups should be able to demonstrate direct benefit to the rural communities of these two areas.
What Elizabeth Jackson Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The trust does not support large national charities or projects that fall outside its two focal communities of Barston and Great Rollright. It also excludes non-local causes and organisations that do not have a clear grassroots connection to these rural areas.
How they like to fund
The trust does not accept unsolicited applications. Awards are made at the trustees' discretion based on their identified priorities, reflecting a flexible, invitation-led approach. There is no online application process; funding decisions are made ad hoc by the trustee board.
