The Magdalen Hospital Trust promotes the welfare of children and young people under the age of 25 who suffer from various effects of social deprivation, abuse, mental and physical handicap, inadequate housing, lack of education or training, and the problems derived from unemployment and lone parent families.

Applicants should be working with vulnerable children and young adults, especially those at risk of sexual and other forms of exploitation.

Grants are awarded for projects rather than core costs. Examples of the type of project that could be supported include (please note this is not an exclusive list):

o Counselling services for young people.
o Mental health support.
o Personal development and training opportunities, and
o Play schemes.

One-off grants, normally for between £200 and £2,000, are available to small UK registered charities with an annual income of under £150,000.

Further information, guidance and an application form can be found on the Trust’s website.

The remaining application deadlines for 2022 are:

1. Tuesday 31st May for the Trust’s meeting in June.
2. Wednesday 31st August for the Trust’s meeting in September, and
3. Wednesday 30th November for the Trust’s meeting in December.

The next application deadline is therefore Tuesday 31st May 2022. Applications should be submitted by email. Email: correspondent(at)magdalentrust.org.uk
