About A B Charitable Trust

A B Charitable Trust is a UK-based funder focused on protecting human dignity and advancing the rights of marginalized and excluded people, with a strong emphasis on human rights, legal access, and penal reform. It typically supports small to medium-sized charities and specialist infrastructure organizations working on migrants and refugees, access to justice, and the criminal legal system, often through unrestricted support. The Trust also makes targeted special-initiative grants and has demonstrated interest in building the broader human rights ecosystem, including academic and sector-strengthening investments.
