About The Albert Hunt Trust
The Albert Hunt Trust is a UK charitable trust that supports local registered charities with a strong emphasis on practical, unrestricted funding. It prioritises hospice care, homelessness services, and targeted health and wellbeing work, especially where grants can help cover core costs or project running expenses. The trust appears to favor organizations delivering direct services to vulnerable people, including children and young people, carers, people affected by cancer or suicide, and those needing food, debt, prison-rehabilitation, or community support.

Giving Approach
Rolling monthly intake with review at the end of each month; awards are typically modest to mid-sized and vary by sector, with hospices often receiving £10,000–£30,000, homelessness grants around £4,000–£7,000, and health and wellbeing grants usually £1,000–£5,000. The trust gives predominantly unrestricted core funding, though it also supports project and running costs.
How to approach this funder
Apply through the trust’s rolling process and aim to submit by the last working day of the month for review. Applications should clearly show UK charity registration, local service impact, and a strong fit with hospice care, homelessness, or targeted health and wellbeing outcomes; requests for core funding and essential running costs appear especially well aligned.
