Kingslakes Charitable Trust
About This Funder
The Kingslakes Charitable Trust, registered in July 2002 and linked to the Kingslake family through trustee Barbara Kingslake, is a discretionary grant-maker dedicated to relieving hardship among Tamworth residents and surrounding Staffordshire/Warwickshire districts, while also supporting national and international relief-in-need efforts at trustees' absolute discretion. Its mission emphasizes flexible responses to urgent community needs, guided by core values of pragmatism, local legacy, and trustee-led judgment rather than rigid programmes, fostering welfare for vulnerable groups through targeted aid.
It funds broad charitable purposes including poverty relief, general community welfare, and special/urgent needs, benefiting children and young people, the elderly, people with disabilities, other charities/voluntary bodies, and the general public. Support spans project funding, core costs, emergency relief, and one-off aid for individuals or organisations, with a pattern of modest local grants alongside occasional national/international humanitarian responses—no narrow sectors like medical research or education are prioritized.
Eligible entities face no specified legal, income/size, or religious restrictions, with geographic priority on Tamworth but openness to any location. It does not accept unsolicited applications, lacking formal processes, forms, or deadlines; grants are awarded adhoc via trustee meetings based on identified needs and local knowledge. Typical grants are moderate, aligning with £115,000–£180,000 annual income, mixing small local awards with larger relief efforts. Distinctively, it avoids prescriptive themes or cycles, differentiating through grassroots responsiveness, repeat local support, and trustees' intimate grasp of Tamworth issues over open competitions.
