register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Park Charitable Trust
The Park Charitable Trust, established in 2002, is a faith-based grant-maker registered with the Charity Commission. Its mission centres on advancing the Jewish faith and Jewish education across England and Wales, while also addressing health, poverty relief, and welfare. Governed by a board of trustees, the Trust embodies a commitment to promoting religious observance, heritage, and learning within the Jewish community. Its funding approach is discretionary, supporting both individuals and organisations with a focus on impactful interventions for vulnerable groups. The Trust reflects a distinct Jewish ethos and has operated under past governance oversight by the Commission.
What Park Charitable Trust funds
The Trust prioritises projects in Jewish education and training, religious activities, health advancement, and poverty prevention. Funding supports Jewish schools, faith initiatives, welfare services, and community interventions, often at a grassroots level without strict programme restrictions. Grants can cover project, capital, and revenue costs. All activities must take place in England and Wales. Specific themes include learning, heritage preservation, and support for people with disabilities, but the Trust is open to a range of Jewish-aligned causes.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and community groups whose work aligns with the Jewish faith. The Trust benefits children and young people, the elderly, people with disabilities, and those of Jewish ethnic origin. There are no income thresholds or geographic base requirements, though funded activities must occur in England and Wales. The Trust seeks organisations with a clear Jewish focus, whether in education, religious observance, or welfare. Unsolicited applications are not accepted, so initial contact is by invitation.
What Park Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust excludes causes that are not aligned with the Jewish faith or its core mission of education, religious activities, health, and poverty relief. It does not support open calls or general community initiatives outside Jewish heritage, learning, or welfare. Unsolicited applications are not considered, as the Trust works by invitation only.
How they like to fund
The Trust makes discretionary grants, typically modest in size, that can support project, capital, and revenue costs. It funds both individuals and organisations, with smaller amounts for individuals. Grant-making is ad hoc and decided on a case-by-case basis. The Trust does not accept unsolicited approaches; it works by invitation, reflecting a targeted, ethos-matched funding style.
