register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Fieldsdene Trust
Fieldsdene Trust is an unincorporated evangelical Christian charity registered in England and Wales, dedicated to advancing faith-based ministry through grants to aligned organisations and workers. Governed by four unremunerated trustees with a conservative, stewardship-focused approach, the Trust emphasises sustaining evangelical Christian activities rooted in values of faith commitment, relational continuity, and impactful outreach. It primarily channels resources to established beneficiaries rather than broad philanthropy, favouring long-term relationships over wide distribution. The Trust's funding character is marked by unwavering thematic exclusivity and a deep commitment to supporting familiar partners, reflecting its mission to nurture evangelical work across the UK, with a particular focus on Wales.
What Fieldsdene Trust funds
The Trust funds exclusively evangelical Christian initiatives, including church-based ministry, mission work, outreach, and religious activities. It prioritises core costs and ongoing support for charities and affiliated workers, enabling sustained ministry rather than one-off projects. Geographically, it supports organisations anywhere in the UK, with a particular emphasis on Wales, especially South Wales. The Trust shows a strong pattern of regular support for familiar partners, with occasional one-off grants, and there is no evidence of backing secular, interfaith, or non-Christian causes.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are strictly UK-registered charities demonstrating clear evangelical alignment and a credible track record in ministry. The Trust favours voluntary bodies practising overt evangelical values, and while there are no formal income thresholds, it tends to support small to medium organisations. Preference is given to those with existing trustee connections, reflecting the relationship-driven nature of the Trust's approach. Community groups may also be considered if they meet the evangelical criteria.
What Fieldsdene Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not fund secular, interfaith, or non-Christian causes. It excludes all work that is not faith-aligned, and there is no evidence of support for broad philanthropy or initiatives outside evangelical Christian ministry.
How they like to fund
The Trust operates invite-only, with no unsolicited applications, and works exclusively with existing partners. It provides regular, ongoing support to familiar beneficiaries, prioritising core costs, and occasionally makes one-off grants. Funding decisions are made by the trustees, reflecting a stewardship-focused approach that values relational continuity and impactful outreach.
