Greenham Trust LTD is a place-based funder focused on improving life for people in West Berkshire and North Hampshire, especially around Newbury and nearby towns. It supports local charities, community organisations, and partnerships that strengthen community facilities, wellbeing, youth opportunities, and services for people facing disadvantage. A distinctive feature of its giving is its heavy use of matched funding and capital support through The Good Exchange, alongside smaller committee-led grants for local projects.

Giving Approach
Mix of committee-led local grants, rolling wellbeing grants, and matched-funding programs. Awards range from small youth grants up to £1,500 to major capital grants of £30,000+; many grants are distributed on a £1-for-£1 matched basis through The Good Exchange, with deadlines varying by program and several reviewed quarterly or on a rolling basis.
How to approach this funder
Check the specific program eligibility and geography first, since most funding is limited to West Berkshire and specified North Hampshire wards. Many opportunities require applications through The Good Exchange, and matched-funding programs have caps, limited windows, or town-council-linked cycles, so applicants should plan fundraising before applying and monitor committee deadlines closely.
