The Brelms Trust is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) offering grants to a wide variety of charities operating in the community. Funding is given exclusively to charities based in Yorkshire and directly benefitting only Yorkshire communities.
Priority in our grant giving is given to charities working at the heart of communities to tackle disadvantage and to provide sustainable benefit to the community. Applications are welcomed from a diversity of charitable organisations and can cover staff salaries, volunteer expenses and running costs, as well as direct service provision.
The Trust does not generally support the total cost of a project, and applicants should demonstrate that wider funding plans are in place.
Grants are currently awarded from £1,000 to a maximum of £6,000 per year, either as a one-off amount or for up to a maximum of 3 consecutive years. Therefore, the minimum grant is for a one-off £1,000 and the maximum is £18,000 spread equally over a 3-year period.
The Trustees meet quarterly to make grant awards, but the assessment of applications is ongoing throughout the year.
Community groups across the UK can apply for grants to run standalone projects, events, or activity series that explore how data can improve local health and wellbeing.
Grants for clubs and groups to cover coaching qualifications so that more women are qualified to coach women and girls’ football, tennis and cricket at a grassroots level.
Mutli-year grants up to £50,000 to fund community based LGBT+ organisations who have excisting projects focused on sports or physical activites.
