Spuc Education and Research Trust

SPUC Education and Research Trust, a UK-registered charity formed from the 1982-founded SPUC Educational Research Trust and closely affiliated with the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC), advances education and research on the value and protection of human life. Its core mission emphasizes the inherent dignity of all life, particularly unborn children, those with congenital abnormalities and disabilities, pregnancy care, and opposition to abortion and euthanasia. Guided by pro-life values, it delivers free educational talks, workshops, and curriculum-aligned resources to primary and secondary schools UK-wide, fostering critical thinking on life ethics, human rights, and moral decision-making among young people.

The trust funds project-specific initiatives like educational outreach, teaching resource development, and research strictly aligned with its pro-life and disability-focused ethos, benefiting children, youth, disabled individuals, and school communities. It supports activities that embed life-ethics education in classrooms, reaching hundreds of schools annually through educator collaborations, while channeling resources into poverty relief, child protection, and health advancement.

Eligible entities include schools, educational groups, and specialist organizations of varying sizes with no income thresholds or geographic restrictions within the UK, but alignment with pro-life objectives is essential. It does not accept unsolicited applications; funding decisions occur ad hoc via internal trustee meetings with no deadlines or public processes—projects are initiated or selected by the trust.

Distinctively pro-life and non-generalist, it excludes unrestricted, core costs, capital, or non-aligned work, prioritizing ethical education that influences societal debate on abortion and disabilities, setting it apart as a niche funder for life-affirming missions.
