50th Anniversary

{{brizy_dc_image_alt imageSrc=

To celebrate 50 years of grant making the Trust hosted a series of events throughout 2024 and 2025. Each event provided an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the organisations the Trust supports. They also enabled the Trust to hear more about the work and experiences of local community groups. The insights gathered through this process were used to help shape our strategy and plans.

The first event in this series was a celebration event held in May 2024. Bringing together over 50 current and former grantees created an opportunity to reflect on the legacy of the Trust, and to look ahead to the future. Other activities included the creation of a book exploring the history of the Trust.

Important Update

The Trust has recently completed a scheduled strategic review. This has resulted in a small number of changes to our eligibility criteria, and we ask all potential applicants to our 2026 grants programmes to review our eligibility criteria before applying (these are listed on the page ‘Our Priorities’). Applicants are also encouraged to contact the Trust Manager for further guidance before planning or preparing an application so we can advise you of any changes which may impact you.
