register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Wogen Anniversary Trust
The Wogen Anniversary Trust was established in 1982 by Wogen Resources to mark its 20th anniversary, channelling the company's philanthropic commitments through a broad charitable mission. Governed by two trustees, it supports a diverse array of UK-registered charities, exempt organisations, and select charitable causes, emphasising corporate social responsibility, community value, and evidenced need. With no narrow thematic agenda, its generalist approach relies on trustee discretion, evaluating applications on merit without a published strategy, and maintains a low public profile distinct from specialised funders.
What Wogen Anniversary Trust funds
The Trust funds general charitable purposes across sectors including health, children and young people, sports access, youth welfare, medical care, and selective international initiatives, particularly in Africa. Grants cover projects, core costs, capital, and revenue needs for small to medium-sized organisations, including grassroots and established groups demonstrating public benefit in welfare, education, or health, both domestically and overseas. The Trust's geographic focus is flexible, prioritising UK operations but open to vetted international work.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are primarily UK-based registered charities, with no strict income thresholds, though the Trust shows preference for modestly resourced entities. It also considers exempt organisations and select charitable causes. The Trust welcomes unsolicited applications and evaluates them on merit, with a flexible geographic focus that prioritises UK operations but is open to vetted international work.
What Wogen Anniversary Trust doesn't fund
The Trust has no explicit exclusions beyond charitable status, meaning it does not fund non-charitable organisations or causes that fall outside its broad charitable objects.
