Kemp House Trust
About This Funder
Kemp House Trust, established in 1981, is a specialized grant-giving charity dedicated exclusively to securing the long-term financial sustainability of KEMP Hospice (charity number 1146310) in Kidderminster and the wider Wyre Forest district of Worcestershire. Its core mission is to underpin the hospice's delivery of high-quality palliative, end-of-life, and bereavement care, alongside emotional, spiritual, and practical support for individuals with life-limiting illnesses and their families. Rooted in values of compassion, stability, and conservative financial stewardship, the Trust manages an investment portfolio to provide premises at peppercorn rent and substantial grants for operational, capital, and project needs, ensuring the hospice's independence from fluctuating income.
The Trust funds hospice-specific activities, including frontline service delivery, infrastructure maintenance, capital improvements, and holistic interventions serving over 1,000 local people annually. All grants—core funding, project-specific, and restricted legacies—directly enable KEMP Hospice's work, with no support for other charities or sectors.
Unsolicited applications are not accepted; funding is invite-only and decided internally by trustees, with no public process, deadlines, or open calls. Eligible entities are limited to KEMP Hospice itself, requiring operations in Kidderminster/Wyre Forest; no income, size, or religious restrictions apply beyond this singular focus. Typical annual expenditure ranges from £377,000 to £550,000, though individual grant sizes are not publicized.
Distinctively, Kemp House Trust stands apart as a mission-aligned endowed supporter for one organization only, excluding all external charities, voluntary groups, or initiatives outside the hospice's locale and remit, prioritizing enduring viability over broad philanthropy.
