The Leach Fourteenth Trust is a family trust established in 1961 under a Settlement Deed, governed by family trustees and professional advisers. Its core mission is to support charitable activities across England, with a strong emphasis on the South West region, by providing small grants to registered charities and voluntary organisations. The Trust adopts a generalist, flexible ethos, prioritising initiatives that address poverty alleviation, health conditions, environmental improvements, residential care, community services, and humanitarian efforts, with a focus on enhancing quality of life, social inclusion, and wellbeing for disadvantaged groups. Distinctive for its family-led structure and regional focus, the Trust stands out as an accessible supporter of core social needs for South West communities.
What Leach Fourteenth Trust funds
The Trust funds a broad spectrum of projects, including one-off initiatives, core costs, general charitable activities, and capacity building. It consistently supports grassroots efforts tackling financial hardship, community infrastructure, care homes, and environmental projects in the South West, alongside occasional national or other English work. The Trust's generalist approach means it supports a wide range of causes, with a strong emphasis on the South West region of England.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities, with a preference for small and medium-sized organisations rooted in the South West of England. There are no restrictions on organisation size, though activities must demonstrate clear public benefit. The Trust does not typically fund individuals.
