Pauline Bishop Charitable Trust

The Trust supports a broad spectrum of charitable purposes across England and Wales, with recent grants highlighting support for environmental conservation and animal welfare. It funds project-specific initiatives, unrestricted core costs, and potentially capital needs. While open to diverse causes, the Trust has no stated priorities or exclusions, allowing for a wide range of charitable activities to be considered. This generalist approach means charities working on environmental conservation, such as habitat protection or species preservation, and animal welfare, including rescue and care, have been supported, alongside other sectors.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and voluntary bodies of any size, operating anywhere in England or Wales. There are no income thresholds or religious criteria. The Trust welcomes unsolicited applications from voluntary bodies, making it accessible to a wide range of organisations seeking general charitable support. Applicant charities of any size, from small local groups to larger national organisations, are eligible.

The Trust has no explicit exclusions, as it supports a broad spectrum of charitable purposes without stated priorities or thematic silos. However, it focuses on charitable activities within England and Wales.
