Three Ells Trust

The Trust prioritises paediatric oncology, palliative care, psychological services, and youth empowerment programmes. They fund hospitals, national charities like Teenage Cancer Trust, and provide direct grants to individuals and families for hardship relief. Beneficiaries are primarily in Dorset and the South of England, though support extends regionally for specialist care. They work with UK-registered charities, NHS trusts, or families via healthcare referrals, focusing on established health sector partners rather than small grassroots groups.

The Trust funds UK-registered charities, NHS trusts, and families via healthcare referrals. They focus on established health sector partners rather than small grassroots groups. Beneficiaries are primarily children and young people with cancer or other life-limiting illnesses, and their families, in Dorset and the South of England, though support extends regionally for specialist care. There is no religious restriction.

The Trust does not fund capital projects, seed funding, or broad capacity-building initiatives. Their focus is on direct support for children and young people with cancer or life-limiting illnesses, rather than general organisational development or infrastructure.

The Trust works by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited applications. Their funding style is discretionary and adhoc, driven by urgent referrals from trusted partners. They support project costs, core services, equipment, and patient relief.
