The R V Coleman Trust is a long-established charitable organisation dedicated to relieving sickness, disability, convalescence, and infirmity among residents of Dover and its immediate neighbourhood, with a particular focus on those in financial need who face barriers to accessing essential services or equipment elsewhere. Rooted in a practical, needs-led ethos, the Trust emphasises direct support to bridge gaps in statutory health and care provision, funding goods, services, and facilities that alleviate suffering, enhance recovery, and improve quality of life for vulnerable individuals. Its enduring mission is sustained through vigilant stewardship of investment and property income to support targeted local impact.
What R V Coleman Trust funds
The Trust funds specific interventions for sick, disabled, convalescent, or infirm Dover residents, such as medical equipment, mobility aids, home adaptations, respite or convalescence care, and related welfare measures. Grants are awarded exclusively to individuals demonstrating hardship and lack of alternative provision, ensuring tailored relief rather than broad programmes. The focus is on hyper-local, individual health relief within Dover and its immediate surrounds.
Who can apply
Eligibility is strictly limited to individuals resident in Dover and its immediate neighbourhood. The Trust prioritises those in financial need who face barriers to accessing essential services or equipment elsewhere. Organisations, charities, or groups are ineligible regardless of size or income. There are no formal income thresholds, but financial need and medical necessity are key criteria. The Trust aims to assist vulnerable individuals who cannot obtain help from other sources.
What R V Coleman Trust doesn't fund
The Trust avoids funding organisations, projects, core costs, capital works, or anything beyond its hyper-local, individual-focused health relief scope. It does not support broad programmes, research, or general charitable activities. Only direct interventions for individual beneficiaries are considered.
How they like to fund
The Trust operates by invitation only, with trustees proactively identifying beneficiaries in need. It does not accept unsolicited applications, and there are no public application forms or portals. Grants are tailored to individual circumstances, funding specific goods or services.
