stlazaruscharitabletrust.org.ukAbout St Lazarus Charitable Trust
The St Lazarus Charitable Trust is the charitable arm of the Military and Hospitaller Order of St Lazarus of Jerusalem in England and Wales, established in 1983. Guided by a Christian tradition of caring for those in need, its mission focuses on preventing and alleviating leprosy worldwide, relieving poverty and sickness, supporting disabled and older people, and advancing the Christian faith. The Trust operates with a low-overhead, volunteer-led structure, channelling funds raised by Order members directly to frontline initiatives. Its distinctive heritage in leprosy care shapes its funding character, bridging historical legacy with contemporary global health needs through partnerships with specialist organisations.
What St Lazarus Charitable Trust funds
The Trust funds a range of causes including poverty and hardship, physical health, disability, and faith-based work. They support training, equipment, project delivery, and emergency relief. A stated priority is the prevention and alleviation of leprosy worldwide. Their work has a strong international focus, particularly in areas where leprosy remains prevalent, such as India, Nepal, Africa, and the UK. Specific themes include relief of poverty and sickness, relief of the disabled, advancement of the Christian religion, relief of persons suffering from leprosy, and relief of victims of disaster and war.
Who can apply
The Trust funds registered charities. They support organisations working with disabled people, older people, children, refugees, and the general public.
