pyecharitablesettlement.orgAbout Mr and Mrs J a Pye's Charitable Settlement
Mr and Mrs J A Pye's Charitable Settlement is an independent grant-making trust that supports under-funded local charities in Oxfordshire. The Trust values pragmatic stewardship, evidence-led decisions, and community-level impact, with a particular focus on smaller organisations struggling with sustainability. They believe that unrestricted support and direct trustee engagement help grassroots charities build resilience and address root causes of social exclusion. Their mission is to advance charitable purposes by bolstering local charities tackling hardship, deprivation, homelessness, health, education, and environmental needs.
What Mr and Mrs J a Pye's Charitable Settlement funds
The Trust funds poverty alleviation, including foodbanks and practical hardship relief; homelessness prevention, emergency accommodation, and resettlement; health and social care such as palliative care, mental health counselling, and disability support including respite care and day activities; education initiatives like SEND provisions, early years centres, after-school clubs, and skills training; and environmental projects developing community green spaces and outdoor therapeutic programmes. Their work is focused on Oxfordshire, serving deprived rural and urban communities.
Who can apply
The Trust primarily funds registered charities that are under-resourced and have strong local ties to Oxfordshire. They prioritise smaller organisations serving homeless people, families caring for disabled children, isolated elderly residents, and those in socially deprived households. Organisations should demonstrate evidence of addressing local gaps in hardship, health, or education. Large national charities lacking grassroots connections are not a fit.
What Mr and Mrs J a Pye's Charitable Settlement doesn't fund
The Trust does not fund non-local work beyond Oxfordshire, large national charities without strong local ties, or initiatives that lack clear evidence of addressing specific local gaps in hardship, health, or education.
How they like to fund
The Trust prefers to fund core costs alongside projects, believing that unrestricted support helps build organisational resilience. They offer multi-year partnerships and value community-led solutions. They welcome unsolicited applications from eligible organisations.
