register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Roy Proctor Foundation
The Roy Proctor Foundation is a grant-making trust established in 2020, operating across England and Wales to provide financial assistance to organisations advancing exclusively charitable purposes. Its mission centres on flexible support for general charitable aims, with trustees holding full discretion over capital and income to address emerging needs and opportunities in the charitable sector. Guided by values of adaptability, effectiveness and broad impact, the foundation adopts a generalist approach that enables diverse organisations to deliver community benefits without predefined thematic constraints. It funds a wide spectrum of charitable activities, always focused on community-oriented outcomes, and is distinctive for its absence of structural restrictions.
What Roy Proctor Foundation funds
The foundation supports a broad spectrum of causes, including poverty relief, education, health, environment and the arts, with no fixed priorities. Its flexible approach allows funding for project work, core costs, capital projects and capacity building, always subject to trustees' assessment of need and potential impact. Work must further exclusively charitable purposes and benefit communities in England and Wales. Beyond that, there are no geographic or thematic restrictions, so charities across the region can seek support for a wide variety of community-oriented outcomes. The illustrative cause list is not exhaustive, reflecting the foundation's deliberate generalist character.
Who can apply
Only UK-registered charities are eligible. There are no restrictions on organisational income, size or geographic base within the UK, provided the funded work benefits England and Wales. The foundation is open to charities of all types and sizes, from small local groups to larger national bodies, as long as they are advancing exclusively charitable purposes. Applicants do not need to be based in England or Wales, but the activities funded must deliver benefit there.
What Roy Proctor Foundation doesn't fund
The foundation does not fund individuals, non-registered organisations, or activities that fall outside the definition of exclusively charitable purposes. Work that does not benefit England and Wales is also outside its remit. Beyond these boundaries, there are no thematic or structural exclusions.
How they like to fund
The foundation works by invitation rather than open application. Unsolicited applications are not accepted, and grants are awarded at trustees' discretion on an ad hoc basis, typically after the trustees become aware of an organisation's work. This informal, responsive style reflects the foundation's flexible character.
