About This Funder

The P E Lennard Charitable Will Trust, established by the will of Pamela Elizabeth Lennard (d. 2001) and registered as a UK charity in June 2011, is a modest-scale philanthropic fund managed by two trustees—Richard Anthony Pollins and Lorna Elizabeth Fairbairn—from DMH Stallard LLP in Brighton. Its core mission is to distribute capital and income at absolute trustee discretion to charitable institutions across England, guided by the benefactor's legacy interests rather than rigid themes. This legacy-driven approach emphasises honouring her values through flexible, unrestricted support, with no remuneration for trustees and a focus on reputable, established organisations.

In practice, the Trust prioritises causes aligned with Lennard's interests, including medical research (e.g., Action Medical Research), support for visually impaired and deafblind children (e.g., British Council for Prevention of Blindness, Royal Society for Blind Children), disability services (e.g., Deafblind UK), children's hospices (e.g., Chestnut Tree House, Cherry Trees), and youth/community programmes (e.g., YMCA Downslink Group). Grants fund core costs, projects, or general purposes without restrictions, reflecting a broad commitment to health, disability, and children's welfare.

Eligible applicants are exclusively UK-registered charities operating in England, with a preference for well-established entities of varying sizes (small to medium and larger) showing proven track records; there are no strict income thresholds. The Trust is invite-only, accepting no unsolicited applications, with no formal process, online portal, guidelines, or deadlines—decisions occur ad hoc via trustees' networks.

Typical grants range from several thousand to tens of thousands of pounds, as seen in £194,346 total expenditure for the year ending April 2024, often in equal allocations. Distinctives include its absence of a website or strategic documents, full trustee autonomy, and predictable focus on legacy-aligned children's, disability, and health causes, excluding non-UK charities, non-entities, or misaligned missions.
