Worshipful Company of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators Charitable Trust

The Trust supports cause areas including youth, education, elderly, and disability, as well as training in governance and business administration. It funds project-specific activities, core costs, youth initiatives, community welfare, and professional development. Geographically, the Trust focuses on the City of London and London Boroughs, with exceptions rare and requiring liveryman connections. It prefers smaller, grassroots organisations demonstrating clear need, directing its support towards tangible local impact.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities, schools, and community groups operating in the City of London or London Boroughs. The Trust strongly prefers smaller, grassroots organisations that demonstrate clear need, without strict income thresholds. It prioritises organisations working with children, young people, the elderly, disabled individuals, and vulnerable groups. Exceptions to the geographic focus are rare and require a connection to a liveryman.

The Trust does not fund large charities, projects outside the City of London or London Boroughs without a liveryman connection, capital builds, or unrestricted funding.

The Trust makes sustainable, impactful grants, funding both project-specific activities and core costs. It welcomes unsolicited applications from eligible organisations. The Trust prioritises grants that make a tangible difference to local communities, reflecting its commitment to smaller charities where funding can have material impact.
