About This Funder
The Liversage Trust, a historic almshouse charity founded in 1529 in Derby, England, under the will of Robert Liversage, remains dedicated to relieving poverty and supporting vulnerable residents through practical aid. Its core mission centers on providing dignity, security, and care for older adults facing financial hardship, guided by values of compassion, inclusion, social responsibility, and prudent stewardship to ensure perpetual service. Distinctive for its nearly 500-year unbroken tradition, the Trust prioritizes direct provision—managing four almshouse estates for those aged 60+ and a 40-bed residential care home—over broad grantmaking, adapting to evolving poverty needs while reinvesting in assets for long-term sustainability.
It funds affordable housing and assisted living for Derby's over-60s, alongside modest hardship grants (Household Fund) for essentials like furniture, heating, clothing, and white goods to individuals in acute financial distress, extending to broader ages in crises. Limited support also covers community facilities and aligned health/welfare initiatives, all tightly focused on poverty relief.
Exclusively for Derby residents—individuals only, not organizations—with no income thresholds but requiring proof of severe need; unsolicited applications accepted via online form. Hardship grants reopen 1 December 2025 at 10am, reviewed rolling until funds exhaust; typical awards £100-£400, one per household. Almshouse applications paused indefinitely. It excludes non-Derby applicants, charities, project funding, and anything beyond direct local hardship relief, setting it apart as a hyper-local, service-first funder resisting mission drift.
