Funding root causes

While trustees are open to funding a range of different organisations and approaches, the Trust generally funds work that is about addressing the root causes of problems rather than delivering services or alleviating immediate needs. We recognise that change can take many years to achieve. We are willing to take the long view, and to take risks.
