Talbot Trust
About This Funder
The Talbot Trusts is a grant-making registered charity based in Sheffield, established from the charitable estates of FJ Talbot, Sarah Talbot, and the Talbot Cuff Convalescent Fund, governed by a local board of trustees. Its core mission is to advance health and wellbeing for Sheffield residents by improving access, provision, and quality of health and social care services, with a strong ethos of collaboration, local impact, innovation, and support for vulnerable groups facing health needs, disability, financial hardship, or disadvantage.
The Trusts prioritises funding health-related initiatives such as mental health programmes, support for older people and carers, medical equipment provision, counselling for marginalised communities, community health outreach, hospice services, and capacity building for voluntary sector organisations. Beneficiaries include Sheffield residents with disabilities, mental ill health, or chronic conditions, with grants supporting therapeutic activities, preventive education, service enhancements, and direct wellbeing improvements to reduce health inequalities and build community resilience. Past awards have backed groups like Sheffield Mencap, Cavendish Cancer Care, and local hospitals.
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and community groups delivering direct benefits to Sheffield and surrounding areas, with a preference for grassroots, small-to-medium local organisations demonstrating clear impact—no strict income limits apply, though established entities are favoured. Typical grants range from £3,000 to £5,000, mostly unrestricted but occasionally restricted for specific projects covering core costs, equipment, or programmes. Unsolicited applications are accepted via online form (or video) during funding rounds; Round 2 closes 14 November 2025 at 5pm, with outcomes by 18 December. They exclude non-Sheffield work, national causes, and activities without local ringfencing, distinguishing themselves through hyper-local focus, flexibility, and longstanding reputation in Sheffield health funding.
