register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Fieldrose Charitable Trust
The Fieldrose Charitable Trust is an independent UK grant-making foundation established in 2014, based in London and overseen by a small, unpaid board of trustees with no paid staff. Its mission is broadly defined: to apply income and capital for the benefit of any UK charity or charitable purpose as trustees deem fit, embodying a flexible, generalist approach without thematic or geographic specialisms. Guided by pragmatic, trustee-led decision-making and a focus on public benefit, it operates discreetly from investment income, prioritising operational stability over published strategies or theories of change.
What Fieldrose Charitable Trust funds
The trust supports a diverse range of established UK charities. Grants have been made in medical research, including mental health, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and spinal research; youth development, such as the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award; and community initiatives like St Andrew's Club in Westminster. Funding typically backs specific research projects, scholarships, and general charitable activities. The trust favours national and operational efforts in health, neurology, and youth services rather than grassroots innovation. Its work covers the whole of the UK.
Who can apply
Eligible organisations are UK-registered charities and academic institutions operating across the UK. The trust prefers medium-to-large established organisations with a proven track record. It does not accept unsolicited applications; trustees proactively select grantees. Its grants have benefited young people, those affected by mental health conditions, disabilities, and community groups. There are no religious restrictions on applicants.
