What we fund

HWCT’s mission is to reduce poverty and improve physical and mental health for people living in our Area of Benefit.

Funding for organisations

We provide grants to charities and community organisations whose work aligns with our strategic priorities, including reducing financial hardship, strengthening wellbeing and supporting advice and advocacy services.

We now fund through two separate funds, the Advice & Advocacy Fund and the Wellbeing Fund. These are accessed through a single application form, and you will be asked to select the fund that best matches the primary focus of your proposal. For full details on eligibility, priorities and how to apply, visit our Grants for organisations page.

Funding for individuals

We also provide small grants to individuals facing extreme hardship in our area of benefit, for basic living needs.

Applications must be made by an organisation on behalf of the individual. We cannot accept applications directly from individuals needing help. Find out more here.
