The Trust is a registered charity, number 213579. The Trust’s governing document is Statutory Instrument 2006 No.921. This introduced a Parliamentary Scheme which came into force on 9th April 2006. Its formal charitable objects are:

(a) to relieve persons who are sick, convalescent, disabled, handicapped or infirm and in particular, but not exclusively, such persons who are suffering mental illness in any of its forms;

and

(b) to promote or assist in the promotion of research into the alleviation or cure of mental illness in any of its forms.

They make grants to a wide range of charitable organisations. The Trustees’ preference is to support registered charities in the North West of England for mental health and mental disability projects where expertise in this area and financial stability can be demonstrated.

While not excluding large UK-wide charities, the Trust normally only makes grants to such organisations where there are strong relationships in the North West of England and the proposal has the potential to achieve a substantial impact.

Grant applications must be received at least six weeks before a trustee meeting and the latest deadline dates are shown below:

March meeting end of January

July meeting 27th May

October meeting end of August

December meeting end of October
