The Guttridge Family Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation established in 2017 by the late Mrs Guttridge, using income from Lincolnshire land and property rentals to sustain a legacy of local philanthropy. Governed by a small family board of trustees, its mission advances charitable purposes with a predominant focus on disability-related causes, alongside support for other UK charities and voluntary bodies. The Foundation values responsible endowment management and trustee discretion, offering reliable, modest funding without strategic shifts or direct service delivery.
What Guttridge Family Foundation funds
The Foundation prioritises grants to charities aiding people with disabilities across spectrums and vulnerable groups, extending to broader voluntary sector needs at trustees' judgement. Funding supports general charitable activities, including projects and core costs, typically for established organisations rather than individuals. While there is no formal geographic restriction, a Lincolnshire connection aligns well with the Foundation's landed heritage, reflecting its roots in local land and property income.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and voluntary bodies operating in England and Wales, with no income or size thresholds or religious restrictions. The Foundation prioritises organisations aiding people with disabilities and vulnerable groups. A Lincolnshire connection may align well with the Foundation's heritage, but is not required.
