About Greig Trust

The Greig Trust is a grant-making charitable incorporated organisation established in 2015, rooted in generations of Greig family philanthropy in the Hornsey community. Its core mission is to promote education in line with Church of England principles, prioritising children and young people in the London Borough of Haringey. Guided by Christian values, the Trust emphasises practical, transformative support for teaching, learning, and life opportunities, fostering accountability through school impact reporting and trustee visits.

What Greig Trust funds

The Trust funds school-based projects, revenue support, extracurricular enrichment, curriculum recovery, pastoral care, and mental health initiatives. Its funding hierarchy places St Mary's CE Primary School in Hornsey first, followed by Greig City Academy, then other Church of England schools serving Haringey pupils, and finally individual young people under 29 residing in Haringey for educational advancement. Beneficiaries include diverse, disadvantaged pupils eligible for free school meals.

Who can apply

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and academic institutions, exclusively Church of England schools educating children in Haringey, and individual young people under 29 living in Haringey. The Trust prioritises organisations serving disadvantaged pupils eligible for free school meals. Applications are invite-only, and unsolicited applications are not accepted.

What Greig Trust doesn't fund

The Trust does not fund advocacy, policy work, or non-Haringey applicants. It avoids national organisations and unsolicited proposals, focusing its resources on hyper-local, place-based educational equity within the Church of England network in Haringey.

How they like to fund

The Greig Trust invites applications from eligible organisations and individuals, supporting both project-based and revenue costs. Funding is allocated through annual invitation rounds, with the board meeting quarterly to make decisions. The Trust welcomes school-led impact reporting and trustee visits as part of its partnership approach.
