The Lennox Hannay Charitable Trust is a grant-making body that supports a wide range of charitable causes across England and Wales. Established as a registered charity, its mission is to promote and support charitable purposes as the directors see fit, giving them flexibility to respond to evolving social needs. The Trust has a very broad remit with no rigid sectoral restrictions, allowing them to support both established and emerging charitable needs. They fund through one-off and recurring grants for projects, core costs, and general purposes, reflecting a responsive and adaptable approach to grant-making.
