Victoria Foundation
About This Funder
The Victoria Foundation, established in 2007 by Dr. Glenda Logsdail and her family—inspired by the legacy of Dr. Cyril Taylor—is an independent UK grant-making charity dedicated to improving access to medical care, enhancing health and wellbeing, and removing barriers for people with disabilities or serious health challenges. Rooted in personal experiences with disability, its mission blends immediate practical support—like mobility aids, accessible transport, and medical equipment—with strategic efforts to diversify the medical profession through bursaries and toolkit grants for underrepresented UK medical students. Core values of compassion, dignity, empowerment, and inclusion drive its interventionist approach, delivering measurable, transformative impact for vulnerable individuals and communities.
It prioritises healthcare accessibility and inequality reduction, funding capital costs (e.g., powered wheelchairs, adapted vehicles), project work, and limited core costs for small to medium-sized charities and local hospices supporting disabled children, elderly, or seriously ill people. Medical student support targets widening participation backgrounds nationwide, covering clinical placement costs and essential tools. Beneficiaries include families and organisations addressing physical disabilities, health hardships, and barriers to medicine.
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities (preference for those with incomes under £1m) based in or serving Richmond, Kingston, or Hounslow; individuals must reside there, while student grants are UK-wide. Unsolicited applications are welcomed via downloadable forms submitted by email or post, with supporting documents like accounts and safeguarding policies—contact advised first. Rolling basis with quarterly trustee meetings (March, June, September, December); expect 3-month decisions.
Typical grants range £2,000–£15,000 for charities (£2,000–£8,000 common for equipment), £500–£2,000 for students. Exclusions: completed work, statutory replacements, general fundraising, sports, leisure, festivals, publications, or conferences. Distinctively, it fuses hyper-local, hands-on relief with national workforce diversity, favouring direct, unmet medical needs over broad causes.
