About Septagon Charity

Septagon Charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation established in 2018, dedicated to alleviating poverty and providing essential services across England, with a strong practical focus on East Anglia. Governed by a compact board of trustees, the charity emphasises robust financial controls and risk management. Its mission targets disadvantaged communities affected by poverty, disability, age, or limited access to cultural and social resources. The charity advances general charitable purposes, disability support, and the promotion of arts, culture, heritage, and science to foster inclusion and well-being. What makes Septagon distinctive is its generalist flexibility without religious restrictions or published exclusions. It combines grant-making with flexible support like facilities or open spaces, prioritising pragmatic, impact-driven interventions over rigid themes. This responsive, need-led approach makes it ideal for poverty, disability, or cultural projects seeking versatile support.

What Septagon Charity funds

The charity funds a broad spectrum of activities, including poverty relief, services for vulnerable groups such as children, young people, elderly individuals, and those with disabilities, alongside support for other charities and voluntary bodies. Grants cover project work, core costs, capital needs, and in-kind aid, with no narrow thematic restrictions. The charity favours initiatives that deliver local social impact, particularly in East Anglia. Specific themes include arts, culture, heritage, and science, as well as disability support and general charitable purposes. This flexible approach allows it to respond to a wide range of community needs.

Who can apply

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and community groups based in or serving England, with a preference for grassroots and medium-sized entities active in priority areas. No strict income thresholds apply, though smaller local organisations align best with the charity's focus on local social impact. The charity prioritises disadvantaged communities, particularly those affected by poverty, disability, age, or limited access to cultural and social resources. While the charity operates across England, it has a particular emphasis on East Anglia.

What Septagon Charity doesn't fund

Septagon Charity does not have a published list of exclusions. It considers a broad range of activities and does not restrict by theme or religion. The charity's generalist approach means it is open to supporting a wide variety of charitable purposes, as long as they align with its mission to alleviate poverty and provide essential services.

How they like to fund

The charity offers both grant funding and in-kind support such as facilities or open spaces. Grants can cover project costs, core costs, and capital needs. Septagon works through recommendations and networks rather than accepting unsolicited applications. This approach allows it to identify and support initiatives that deliver local social impact, particularly in East Anglia.
