The Mike and Claire Griffin Charitable Trust is a highly local funder focused on the parishes of Bierton and Hulcott, with giving centered on practical support for residents, students, and small community initiatives. It appears especially interested in helping local young people access university, apprenticeships, and other further education, while also responding to specific hardship or one-off community needs that directly benefit parish residents. The trust is distinctive for its narrow geographic scope and modest, targeted grants rather than broad regional philanthropy.
Small, targeted grants in the roughly $500-$700 range, with both open-year-round community funding and an annual application window for student/apprentice support. The trust seems to make practical, need-based awards, often requiring evidence of enrollment or a specific local benefit, and historical emergency aid suggests occasional responsive one-off payments.
Applicants should confirm that the beneficiary lives in or serves Bierton or Hulcott, and clearly explain the direct local benefit to the parishes. Student and apprentice applicants should apply between 1 August and 31 December and provide proof of offer/enrollment; general community requests can be submitted at any time, so a concise case for need and local impact is key.
