The Trust aims is to contribute to and promote the excellent work which is being undertaken across the charitable sector. It provides long-term core funding to small charities and run an Awards programme for individuals and groups committed to social, cultural and environmental causes.
It supports around 350 charities every year through its grants programme and gives around 80 different awards to individuals and groups from across the charity sector. It maintains a policy of making a comparatively large number of modest grants each year.
Grants are available for charities, community groups, and other not-for-profit organisations to deliver projects with a positive impact for communities along the East Coast mainline route.
Grants are available for not-for-profit organisations to deliver projects and activities that support LGBT+ young people’s needs as they grow into adulthood.
The Creating Connections Grant Programme will be awarding 20+ grants of up to £7,500 to charities and community groups who are helping to reduce loneliness and isolation for the over 65s.
