Thomas Farr Charity

The trust funds work in education, youth development, community healthcare, health education, elderly assistance, crime prevention, social care, and engagement for vulnerable groups facing deprivation or disadvantage. It supports both project costs and core costs for initiatives such as family support, educational programmes for disadvantaged young people, community health schemes, and crime prevention efforts. Geographically, the charity prioritises Nottinghamshire and neighbouring areas where the Home Brewery formerly operated, including adjacent regions historically associated with the brewery. The trust places a strong emphasis on small to medium-sized local organisations.

The Thomas Farr Charity funds registered UK charities and constituted voluntary or community groups. It particularly welcomes applications from small to medium-sized local organisations rooted in Nottinghamshire and the brewery's former service areas. The trust prioritises work that benefits vulnerable groups facing deprivation or disadvantage, including young people, the elderly, and those in need of healthcare or social support. There is no religious restriction. Organisations should be able to demonstrate local impact and alignment with the trust's community-centred values.

The trust does not support large national charities, individuals, or activities that cover statutory duties. It also excludes retrospective funding, political campaigns, capital projects, and business loans. Applications for work that falls outside its geographic or thematic focus are unlikely to succeed.

The trust welcomes unsolicited applications and supports both project and core costs. Grants are sometimes facilitated through Nottinghamshire Community Foundation. The charity responds flexibly to local needs and values practical, impact-driven initiatives.
