Noel Buxton Trust

The Noel Buxton Trust  makes grants to charities active in the following three
spheres of activity:
* The welfare of children in disadvantaged families and of children in care.
This will normally cover families with children of primary school age and
younger, although work with children in care will be considered up to the age at
which they leave care.
* Penal reform, the welfare of prisoners and their families, rehabilitation of
prisoners and work with young people at risk of offending.
* Sustainable development and education in Eastern and Southern Africa.

The Trust welcomes applications from registered charities. Exceptionally the
Trust will consider appeals from charitable organisations that are not or not
yet registered (but see exclusions list on website below).

The Trust is a small one and seldom makes grants of more than £4000, often
considerably less. The average grant in 2008 was about £1670.

Apply by letter, setting out the reasons why a grant is being requested.
Applications should include the applicant's charity registration number and the
name of the organisation to which cheques should be made payable if different
from that at the head of the appeal letter.

Please include with your application:
* Budget for current and following year;
* Details of funding already received, promised or applied for from other
sources;
* Latest annual report / accounts in the shortest available form.
