The objects of the trust allow the trustees to consider grants in the following areas of need:

• Medical Research
• Hospitals
• Retirement homes
• Schools and training institutions
• Homes and care for the young
• Other charitable work which helps people in need

During his lifetime Reverend Burden made a difference in to many peoples’ lives in and around the Bristol area and the trustees favour acting in a similar way, being particularly interested in grant applications from local charitable organisations whose work and objectives fall within the overall objects of the Trust and are broadly in line with the tenets and principles of the Church of England.

Grants have been made in the past for many causes and may be for sums less than £5000 or for larger amounts dependent upon the nature of the charitable activity and the need

Applications from outside the Bristol area and those which do not adhere to the specific requests on the on-line application form are far less likely to be considered. Unsuccessful applicants will not be contacted.

Should you wish to make an application please use the on-line application form
