The Huggard Charitable Trust is an unincorporated grant-making trust established in 1987. Rooted in its founders' vision, the Trust advances religion, relieves poverty, and supports people incapacitated by old age or disability. It prioritises enduring social needs through modest grants to a fixed roster of charitable organisations, emphasising stable, long-term partnerships over open competition. The Trust's funding character is one of quiet consistency, focusing on practical relief and community well-being without seeking new applicants.
What Huggard Charitable Trust funds
The Trust supports community support, homelessness relief, and services for children, young people, the elderly, disabled individuals, and disadvantaged communities. It addresses illness, poverty, and incapacity through its grants, which can cover core costs, project expenses, and occasional capital or equipment needs. Geographically, the Trust concentrates on South Wales, particularly Port Talbot and Cardiff, while occasionally extending to UK-wide initiatives linked to its existing network.
Who can apply
Eligible organisations are strictly UK-registered charities that are part of the Trust's established list of pre-selected partners. There are no income thresholds, but the Trust has a preference for small to medium grassroots organisations. Beneficiary groups include the elderly, disabled individuals, disadvantaged communities, children, and young people. The Trust does not accept unsolicited applications; it only works with founder-identified partners, making it closed to new applicants.
What Huggard Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not fund seed, emergency, or capacity-building initiatives for newcomers. It rejects all unsolicited applications and proposals from individuals. Grants are made exclusively to pre-selected partners, so any organisation not on the Trust's fixed roster is not considered.
How they like to fund
The Trust provides modest grants as core funding, project support, or occasional capital or equipment grants. Funding is directed solely to a fixed roster of charitable organisations through stable, long-term partnerships, with no opportunity for new applicants to apply.
