Robyn Charitable Trust

The Trust supports causes focused on the relief of need and education of children, funding projects that directly serve youth welfare. Priority is given to projects that enhance children's welfare and advance educational opportunities where resources are scarce. Grants cover a variety of costs including project work, core costs, revenue needs, and occasionally capital or emergency aid. While children remain the central beneficiaries, the Trust occasionally extends support to elderly or disabled beneficiaries. The Trust funds UK-registered charities whose work can take place anywhere in the UK, particularly England and Wales, or overseas, as long as it is driven by children's welfare.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities of any size, with no income thresholds or geographic limits beyond UK registration. The Trust often favours small to medium organisations. Their work must be driven by children's welfare, but can take place in the UK or overseas. The Trust prioritises children in need, and occasionally supports elderly or disabled beneficiaries. No religious restrictions apply.

The Trust does not fund causes outside its primary focus on children's welfare and education. It does not support organisations that are not UK-registered charities. It avoids competitive funding rounds and does not require outcome metrics. It also does not fund non-aligned activities or those that do not directly serve the welfare of children.

The Trust welcomes unsolicited applications and funds a range of costs including project work, core costs, revenue needs, and occasionally capital or emergency aid. It operates with a responsive, trust-based approach, avoiding competitive rounds and outcome metrics. No matched funding is required.
