Summary: Small grants are available to UK registered charities and community interest companies that are working to make a difference to the lives of disabled children and young people (0-25), those with life‑limiting or life‑threatening conditions, and their families in the UK. The Trust is particularly keen on organisations working in areas of high deprivation. Applicants must have annual income under £350,000

Maximum value:£10,000

What can be funded: Projects and activities supporting disabled children and families, sibling and bereavement support, family and peer support, respite, and certain capital items such as specialist play equipment, minibuses, and improvements to hydrotherapy or multi-sensory facilities.

It provides grants of up to £10,000, although many grants are smaller than this.

The programme is open to applications at any time. We aim to respond to your application with a final decision within twelve weeks. 

We regret that we cannot consider applications from the following:
• Organisations which have received a small grant from us within the last 12 months
• Local authorities
• Residential schemes
• Schools
• Condition-specific organisations
• Organisations seeking funding for wish-granting activities or regranting
• Organisations which are registered outside the UK
• Projects taking place outside the UK
• Newly registered organisations which do not yet have a full year of accounts
• Individuals

We aim to support as many organisations as possible, and therefore are unlikely to fund any organisation in consecutive years. If you have received a grant, please wait at least a year after the completion of your project before reapplying.

If you are unsuccessful, we also ask that you wait at least one year from the date of your application before reapplying.
