The Blyth Watson Charitable Trust generally awards one-off grant to UK registered charities, It prefers to support smaller, more local groups, rather than large national charities and usually awards grants totalling between £50,000 and £55,000 at its two meetings each year (these normally take place in July and December). A small budget of up to £7,000 is also set aside for applications from individuals.
The Trust’s main area of interest is supporting humanitarian causes, particularly:
o The welfare of humanity, especially in acting to improve the living conditions of people who are impoverished or disadvantaged, and
o Supporting people who are in danger of harm or death.
Please note that the Trust does not maintain a website. Further information is, however, available on the Charity Commission website.
Applications may be made at any time in writing and are considered at the Trust’s meeting in either July or December.
