The P E Lennard Charitable Will Trust was established under the will of Pamela Elizabeth Lennard and registered as a charity. It is managed by two trustees based in Brighton, operating without a public website or formal strategy documents. The Trust's core mission is to distribute capital and income at trustee discretion to charitable institutions across England, guided by the benefactor's legacy interests rather than rigid themes. This legacy-driven approach emphasises flexible, unrestricted support, with trustees holding full autonomy to honour Lennard's values. The Trust prioritises reputable, well-established organisations and works through the trustees' own knowledge and networks rather than public outreach.
What P E Lennard Charitable Will Trust funds
The Trust supports causes aligned with the late Pamela Elizabeth Lennard's interests, including medical research, services for visually impaired and deafblind children, disability support, children's hospices, and youth and community programmes. Grants may fund core costs, projects, or general purposes without restrictions, reflecting a broad commitment to health, disability, and children's welfare. All funded work takes place in England, with the Trust's geographical focus limited to charitable institutions operating within the country.
Who can apply
Only UK-registered charities operating in England are eligible to receive funding. The Trust prefers well-established organisations that demonstrate a proven track record, and it welcomes entities of varying sizes, from small to medium and larger, without imposing strict income thresholds. There are no restrictions based on religious affiliation, and the Trust does not require applicants to meet any particular faith-based criteria.
What P E Lennard Charitable Will Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not support non-UK charities or organisations that are not registered charities. It also excludes causes that are misaligned with the benefactor's legacy interests, such as those falling outside the fields of health, disability, and children's welfare.

Charities are identified through the knowledge and networks of the trustees, with no formal application process or public guidelines.
