Polish Ex-Combatants Association in Great Britain Trust Fund

The Trust funds any charitable purpose that benefits Poles as defined in its governing document. This includes welfare assistance, education, cultural activities, and community support. They support work that preserves Polish heritage, relieves hardship, and strengthens community ties among the Polish diaspora. While the Trust's area of benefit is worldwide, its operations are focused throughout England and Wales, with priority given to Polish people living in Great Britain. The Trust is particularly interested in initiatives that support elderly Poles, veterans, and those experiencing poverty or isolation. They also fund cultural and educational projects that sustain Polish identity and community cohesion.

Both organisations and individuals can apply for support. Eligible organisations include registered charities and community groups that work for the benefit of Poles. The Trust defines Poles as individuals who are or have been Polish citizens, their descendants, spouses, children, and dependants. Priority is given to projects that support Polish veterans, elderly people, and those facing hardship. Applicants should demonstrate a clear connection to the Polish community and a charitable purpose that aligns with the Trust's objects. There is no restriction on religious affiliation.

The Trust does not fund non-charitable purposes or activities that do not benefit Poles as defined in their charitable objects. They also do not support organisations or projects that fall outside their area of operation in England and Wales, unless the benefit is clearly directed to Poles within that region.

The Trust welcomes unsolicited applications and considers a wide range of charitable purposes that benefit Poles. They support both organisations and individuals, with a focus on community-led initiatives that preserve Polish heritage and relieve hardship. Grants are made for charitable activities that align with the Trust's objects.
