Postcode Justice Trust
About This Funder
Postcode Justice Trust, founded in 2013, is an independent grant-making charity funded entirely by players of the People's Postcode Lottery, with a mission to improve lives through justice, human rights, and equality, aspiring to a peaceful society that upholds rights for humans, wildlife, and the planet. Its core values emphasize social justice, human rights advancement, equality, conflict resolution, reconciliation, education, and citizenship, applying a strong social responsibility lens to catalyze systemic change via large-scale, high-impact interventions.
The Trust prioritizes thematic areas like advancing education, health, citizenship, community development, public participation in sport, human rights, conflict resolution, equality, and diversity. It supports civil justice, access to justice, rights-based reform, protection of vulnerable and marginalized groups (including women, girls, refugees, and those facing discrimination or systemic barriers), national advocacy, legal reform, restorative justice, community empowerment, and strategic media/education initiatives. Funding backs established charities delivering policy impact, replicable models, and sector-leading work for UK's most excluded communities.
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities—medium to large, credible organizations with proven systemic impact capacity—focusing on UK-wide or international activities benefiting UK-based/resident populations; grassroots or small groups are not supported. Unsolicited applications are not accepted; only invited partners submit proposals and present in person to the independent board, which meets annually with no public deadlines.
Typical multi-year grants range from £100,000 to over £1 million for strategic projects, core costs, advocacy, policy initiatives, and capacity building (capital not prioritized). Distinctive for its lottery-derived resources, rigorous governance, and focus on bold, scalable reform, the Trust stands out in enabling enduring transformation in justice and equality landscapes.
