The Austin and Hope Pilkington Trust gives small, targeted grants to UK-registered charities supporting people in the UK who face the greatest barriers and have the fewest opportunities. Its funding is highly theme-driven and changes by round, with recent priorities centered on homelessness prevention, practical life skills, unpaid adult carers, and support for people leaving prison, care, or the armed forces. The Trust appears to favor direct-service charities working with specific underserved groups rather than broad general-purpose organizations.

Quarterly, application-based grant rounds with fixed amounts of £1,000 or £5,000. Awards are relatively small and highly program-specific, with separate eligibility thresholds for smaller and larger charities; priorities rotate by round and year.
Cómo acercarte a este financiador
Apply through the Trust’s annual round openings, typically 1–30 April and 1–30 September for £5,000 grants, and 1–28 February and 1–31 July for £1,000 grants. Make sure your charity is UK-registered and that your project matches the specific round theme exactly; for some rounds, eligibility depends on operating income/expenditure thresholds and proposals outside the current priority area are unlikely to be considered.
