The Pierrepont Trust is an independent, generalist grant-making charity established in 1988 and based in Long Marston, North Yorkshire. Governed by a trustee-led structure, the Trust is committed to statutory compliance and continuity. Its mission, rooted in its founding objectives, is to advance health, relieve sickness through hospital amenities and equipment, support dependants of those affected by illness or bereavement, and promote medical research, particularly into kidney disease, with the aim of publishing useful results. Guided by values of improving patient outcomes, alleviating hardship, and fostering medical progress, the Trust adopts a facilitative, open-access approach, funding UK-registered charities for both direct interventions and research without rigid thematic boundaries.
What Pierrepont Trust funds
The Trust prioritises health-related causes, including hospital and hospice support, children's health and disability initiatives, biomedical research, and poverty relief for those facing illness or distress. Supported activities range from equipment purchases and core costs to project funding and capital expenditure. Grants are made to hospices, disability organisations, and research bodies across England and Wales, with a particular focus on areas connected to Charing Cross Hospital in Fulham.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are solely UK-registered charities of small to medium size, operating across England and Wales. There are no geographic, income, or religious restrictions, though patterns favour health and hardship-focused groups. The Trust welcomes unsolicited approaches from organisations that align with its charitable objects.
What Pierrepont Trust doesn't fund
The Trust avoids exclusions beyond its charitable objects, meaning it does not fund activities outside the relief of sickness, support for dependants, or medical research. It does not specify other exclusions.
How they like to fund
The Trust makes grants to UK-registered charities for both direct interventions and research, supporting equipment purchases, core costs, project funding, and capital expenditure. It welcomes unsolicited approaches and does not require a formal application process.
