Limoges Charitable Trust

The Trust funds a diverse range of activities including general charitable purposes, animal welfare, heritage preservation, bereavement support, advocacy for the vulnerable, and overseas aid. Grants support unrestricted core costs, projects, capital, and revenue needs for established UK-registered charities benefiting people and communities. The Trust prioritises organisations with a local or regional focus in England and Wales, particularly the West Midlands, but also considers national and overseas causes. Examples include heritage sites like Worcester Cathedral and Bletchley Park Trust, bereavement support such as Edward’s Trust, and advocacy organisations like Freedom from Torture.

The Trust funds UK-registered charities only. It favours proven, community-oriented nonprofits demonstrating robust governance and public benefit, with a preference for those operating in England and Wales—especially the West Midlands—though geographic flexibility exists. Charities of all sizes, from small local groups to major national entities, are considered. No income thresholds are specified. The Trust does not accept unsolicited applications; grants are proactively identified via trustee networks and research.

The Trust does not fund speculative or unproven initiatives, nor does it accept unsolicited applications. It excludes grant-seekers who are not UK-registered charities. The Trust generally avoids narrow thematic restrictions, but its proactive, invitation-only approach means most charities will not be considered unless identified by trustees.

The Trust makes grants that are one-off or multi-year, covering unrestricted core costs, projects, capital, and revenue needs. It does not accept unsolicited approaches; instead, funding is awarded through trustee discretion based on their networks and research. Grants are proactively identified and may be used for general charitable purposes or specific initiatives.
