The Patrick Trust is a small UK charitable trust that makes restricted grants to UK-registered charities, with a clear preference for organizations serving young people, older people, or benefiting communities in the West Midlands. Its current giving is modest and practical, typically supporting local welfare and community-focused work, while its historic roots include funding for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy research and related support through family-linked philanthropy.
Small restricted grants, typically £500-£2,500, to UK-registered charities; applications are limited to specified charitable purposes and appear to be reviewed on a programmatic basis rather than through a large open competitive process.
Apply only if you are a UK-registered charity aligned with youth, older people, or West Midlands benefit. Keep requests small and tightly matched to the trust’s priorities; given the limited grant size and restricted mandate, concise proposals with clear local impact are likely most effective.
