Nora and Olive Brewer Memorial Trust

The Trust funds direct charitable services and interventions that align with its priorities of health, disability and religious activity. It supports both project costs and core costs, favouring established organisations that can demonstrate measurable impact. A particular focus is St Mary's Church in Putney, and more broadly the Trust concentrates on local causes in the Wandsworth area, especially Putney. Alongside this local commitment, it also supports a small number of nominated national charities across England. The emphasis throughout is on practical, mission-aligned work delivered by trusted partners.

Eligibility is limited to UK-registered charities serving the Trust's priority areas. The Trust supports a mix of small local organisations in Wandsworth, particularly Putney, and larger national charities that have been nominated by trustees. Beneficiaries include people with disabilities, those in need of health support, and communities connected to religious activities, including St Mary's Church in Putney. The Trust tends to favour established charities with a track record of delivering measurable impact. Because funding is by invitation only, unsolicited applications are not considered; relationships and trustee networks are the route to support.

The Trust does not fund international work, commercial activities, capital projects, emergency relief, seed funding, or non-charitable efforts. Its grant-making is deliberately narrow, concentrating on its established priorities and existing relationships rather than new or speculative ventures. Organisations seeking support outside the fields of health, disability or religious activity, or without a connection to the Trust's local or nominated national partners, are unlikely to fit its criteria.

Funding is made exclusively by invitation, and there is no public application process. The Trust works with pre-selected partners, many through longstanding relationships, and relies on trustee networks to identify organisations that match its priorities. It offers both project and core cost support to these trusted partners, favouring a targeted approach.
