About Lidbury Family Trust

The Lidbury Family Trust is a grant-making trust that supports charitable causes across heritage, physical health, disability, and faith. Their broad approach to philanthropy encompasses a variety of charitable activities within these four areas. The Trust's distinctive combination of heritage and faith alongside health and disability offers a relatively wide remit. They are open to unsolicited applications from eligible organisations across England and Wales.

What Lidbury Family Trust funds

The Trust funds charitable work in four main areas: heritage, physical health, disability, and faith. Within these categories, they consider a range of activities, though specific intervention types are not detailed in their published criteria. They support registered charities, community groups, and community interest companies (CICs) operating in England and Wales. The breadth of their remit means they can back everything from preserving historic sites to supporting health services, disability programmes, and faith-based initiatives, reflecting a flexible and inclusive funding character.

Who can apply

Registered charities, community groups, and community interest companies (CICs) based in England and Wales are eligible to apply. The Trust does not specify particular beneficiary groups, focusing instead on the four funded areas. There is no religious restriction on applicants, and they welcome unsolicited applications from organisations whose work aligns with their stated categories.

What Lidbury Family Trust doesn't fund

The Trust only funds within its four stated categories: heritage, physical health, disability, and faith. Applications outside these areas are not considered. They also restrict funding to organisations operating in England and Wales.

How they like to fund

The Lidbury Family Trust accepts unsolicited applications from eligible organisations. They consider a variety of charitable activities within their focus areas, but do not specify whether grants are one-off or multi-year, or whether they cover core costs or projects.
