Henocq Law Trust is a grant-making charitable trust established in 2016 by Deborah Law and Ronald Henocq. Rooted in the founders' values of justice, equity and stewardship, and drawing on their ties to arts, civil society and environmental movements, the Trust advances positive social and environmental change through proactive grants to established UK charities. Rather than operating an open call, its trustees strategically identify beneficiaries, emphasising long-term impact, ethical investments and systemic improvements in human rights, social welfare, environmental conservation, scientific research and cultural enrichment.
What Henocq Law Trust funds
The Trust prioritises two themes: environmental efforts such as biodiversity protection, climate mitigation and wildlife conservation, and social initiatives addressing human rights, mental health, torture survivor support, youth poverty and homelessness. It also supports arts and music education for young people, favouring advocacy, direct delivery and cultural flourishing. Grants support work across the UK and globally, with a focus on leading NGOs driving enduring change.
Who can apply
Eligible entities are exclusively UK-registered charities with strong track records, robust governance and capacity for national or international-scale impact. Small or new organisations are rarely funded. The Trust does not accept unsolicited proposals, so charities are identified proactively by the trustees.
What Henocq Law Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not fund small or new organisations, and it does not accept unsolicited applications. It focuses on established charities with a proven track record, so grassroots or reactive trusts are unlikely to be supported.
How they like to fund
The Trust provides multi-year strategic, project, core or unrestricted support, awarded on an ad hoc basis. It does not operate an open call; instead, trustees proactively identify beneficiaries. The Trust aligns its finances with its mission through ethical investments.
