Millie's Watch is a registered charitable trust established in 2018, dedicated to making grants to charities and voluntary organisations across England and Wales. Operating under a broad mandate of general charitable purposes, its mission is to advance objects as trustees deem fit, embodying a flexible, non-prescriptive approach that supports civil society at large rather than narrow themes. Governed by five trustees with robust policies on governance, risk management, conflicts of interest, and Charity Commission compliance, it emphasises responsible stewardship and open grantmaking. The trust funds a wide array of charitable activities, making it a versatile funder for broad charitable needs.
What Millie's Watch funds
Millie’s Watch funds a wide array of charitable activities without specified thematic priorities, including project costs, core costs, and general support for registered organisations. It backs diverse causes through trustee discretion, making it ideal for charities seeking unrestricted aid across sectors, with no focus on particular beneficiaries, programmes, or outcomes documented publicly. The trust supports organisations operating in England and Wales.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and voluntary bodies operating in England and Wales. There are no income thresholds, size limits, or religious restrictions, and the trust accepts unsolicited applications from small to large entities. This makes it accessible to a broad range of civil society organisations.
