register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout L E Andrews Charitable Trust
The L E Andrews Charitable Trust is a UK-registered charitable trust established in 2009 under the terms of L E Andrews' will. It is dedicated exclusively to advancing animal welfare, operating from investment income generated by its settled capital. The Trust values public benefit, conservative stewardship, and trustee discretion, with no strategic plans beyond its focused remit. It funds general charitable purposes solely for the advancement of animal welfare, supporting UK-registered charities without thematic sub-priorities. Beneficiaries are animals via organisations pursuing direct welfare activities, with no extension to environmental issues or human-animal bonds. Geographic focus is limited to the UK. Distinctively, the Trust does not accept unsolicited applications; grants are awarded at trustees' discretion, making it a niche funder for pure-play UK animal welfare groups.
What L E Andrews Charitable Trust funds
The Trust supports general charitable purposes that advance animal welfare, funding UK-registered charities engaged in direct welfare activities. It does not have thematic sub-priorities such as specific species, interventions, or project types, meaning it may support a range of work including rescue, rehabilitation, and care. The geographic focus is strictly the UK, with no extension to overseas work or related areas like environmental issues or human-animal bonds.
Who can apply
Eligible organisations are UK-registered charities that focus exclusively on animal welfare. The Trust does not publish income thresholds, size preferences, or other criteria, so charities of any scale may be considered. There is no religious requirement. However, the Trust does not accept unsolicited applications; grants are awarded at the trustees' discretion through their networks, so direct approaches are not invited.
What L E Andrews Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust excludes all non-animal welfare causes, including environmental issues, human-animal bonds, and any work outside the UK. It does not fund overseas projects or organisations that are not UK-registered charities. Open applications are not accepted, and the Trust does not support general charitable purposes beyond its animal welfare remit.
How they like to fund
The Trust awards grants at the trustees' discretion, working through their networks rather than accepting unsolicited applications. It does not publish details about grant types, durations, or whether it supports core costs or projects, as these decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. The Trust operates from investment income, with no public application process or published guidance on funding style.
