Postcode Support Trust

The Trust prioritises organisations addressing vulnerability through health and wellbeing, social welfare, poverty alleviation, mental health support, community development, economic participation, and access to essential services. Funding supports core capacity building, flexible responses to local needs, innovative projects with measurable goals, and emergency aid. The Trust works across Great Britain, with a preference for established charities demonstrating impact and community presence. Examples of supported causes include grants to organisations like the Royal British Legion and Treasures Foundation, reflecting a focus on improving quality of life for disadvantaged groups.

Eligible applicants are exclusively UK-registered charities based in Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales). The Trust prefers established organisations demonstrating impact, financial stability, and community presence; no income thresholds apply. Beneficiaries include disadvantaged groups such as veterans, people in recovery, and those facing social exclusion. There are no religious restrictions. Applications are invite-only, proactively selected via the Trust's research and networks—no unsolicited submissions are accepted.

The Trust does not accept unsolicited applications; charities must be proactively invited to apply. There are no religious restrictions or geographic sub-limits within Great Britain. The Trust avoids bureaucratic hurdles and does not fund short-term projects as a primary focus, favouring sustained, flexible core funding instead.

The Trust favours sustained, flexible core funding over short-term projects, typically offering multi-year unrestricted grants alongside shorter project or one-off awards. It proactively selects partners through research and networks rather than accepting unsolicited applications, emphasising long-term partnerships and open, trusting grantmaking. The Trust adheres to IVAR's commitments, aiming to minimise power imbalances and empower charities' expertise.
