Business development or job creation schemes
General appeals
Providing care for elderly people, children, people with learning difficulties, people with physical disabilities, or people using mental health services
Work which has already been done
Work in larger, older national charities which have an established constituency of supporters
Work in mainstream education
Academic research, except as an integral part of policy and campaigning work that is central to our areas of interest
Work on housing and homelessness
The arts, except where a project is specifically concerned with issues of interest to the Trust
Work which we believe should be funded from statutory sources, or which has been in the recent past
Work which tries to make a problem easier to live with, rather than getting to the root of it
Local work in Britain (except Racial Justice work in West Yorkshire)
Work outside the UK, Ireland and South Africa (except for groups working elsewhere within Europe at a European level)

Further specific exclusions are included for individual programmes in the policy sheets.

Within its areas of interest, the Trust makes grants to a range of organisations and to individuals. It is not necessary to be a registered charity to apply to the Trust. However, the Trust can only support work which is legally charitable as defined in UK law.
