The Pat Allsop Charitable Trust was established in 1976 by Patrick Thomas Falconer Allsop. It is a UK-based charitable fund managed by trustees with strong ties to the surveying profession and Allsop LLP property firm. The Trust's mission centres on advancing education and relieving poverty, guided by values of community responsibility, integrity, and sustained social impact. It favours a prudent, growth-oriented investment approach, supporting both property-linked causes and broader charitable initiatives. The Trust operates through a relationship-driven model, drawing on professional networks and trustee affinities to identify funding opportunities.

Grants can fund projects, capital equipment, core costs, and fundraising events. The work supported spans a wide range of themes, including technology in education, respite care, medical research, and access to recreation. The Trust primarily funds charities operating in England and the wider UK, with no geographic restrictions within the country.
Who can apply
Only UK-registered charities are eligible to receive grants.
