The Allen Lane Foundation is keen to work with groups which focus on:

• Will make a lasting difference to people's lives rather than simple alleviating the symptoms or current problems.
• Is aimed at reducing isolation, stigma, and discrimination.
• Encourages or enables unpopular groups to share in the life of the whole community.

Available Funding

Who can apply?

The Albert Hunt Trust is a grant-giving charitable trust that provides grants to support mental health and wellbeing of children and young adults up to the age of 25. Covering areas such as family support, suicide prevention, food banks, and more.

The following funding is currently available:

Small grants of up to £200 are available to help support young people staying in sport. Grants must be used to subsidise club subscriptions, pay for equipment, or kit that could not be paid for otherwise, or used towards travel costs to and from sports training and tournaments. This can either be in the form of a general hardship fund for your club, or on behalf of a specific young person who is in immediate need. Currently, we are only accepting applications from local sporting organisations – either on behalf of a specific young person, or to create a hardship fund.

The Robert Clutterbuck Charitable Trust exists to help other charities by making grants to them. It has set priorities and invites applications within those priority areas.

Grants will not be made to charities with an annual turnover exceeding £500,000 unless they are primarily concerned with the welfare of ex-service personnel or have previously received a grant from the Trust.

In practice, the Trustees do not consider applications for payments to individuals and do not generally pay grants below £1000 or over £3000.
