register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout St Augustine's Charitable Trust
St Augustine's Charitable Trust was established in 1995 as a charitable company to support St Augustine's Catholic College in Trowbridge, Somerset. Rooted in Catholic values, its mission emphasises stewardship, service, spiritual development and the promotion of faith-based education. The Trust exists solely to advance Catholic education for children and young people at this one school, providing capital grants for assets essential to the college's operations and educational mission. This narrow, institution-specific focus distinguishes it as a dedicated steward for a single Catholic school, rather than a broad grant-maker.
What St Augustine's Charitable Trust funds
The Trust funds capital grants exclusively for assets that are essential to the running and educational mission of St Augustine's Catholic College. This includes equipment and facilities upkeep, such as maintaining buildings and purchasing necessary resources. All support is directed towards the college's activities in Somerset and Wiltshire, benefiting its pupils and advancing Catholic education. The Trust does not fund programmes, core costs, unrestricted grants, or any external causes.
Who can apply
Only St Augustine's Catholic College itself is eligible to receive funding. The Trust supports the college's pupils and activities within Somerset and Wiltshire, with a Catholic faith requirement. Unsolicited applications are not accepted; proposals originate internally from the college. This highly restrictive eligibility reflects the Trust's role as a dedicated steward for one specific academic institution.
What St Augustine's Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not fund programmes, core costs, unrestricted grants, or any external causes. It provides no support to other charities, community groups, or non-Catholic entities. All funding is limited to capital assets for St Augustine's Catholic College, with no provision for activities outside the college's direct operations.
How they like to fund
The Trust provides capital grants for specific assets essential to the college's operations and educational mission. Funding is arranged through internal proposals from the college; unsolicited applications are not accepted. This approach ensures that all support is directly aligned with the college's identified needs.
