The Hedley Foundation

The Trustees seek to help and improve the quality of life of people in the UK, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. This is achieved by making grants, within budget, to registered charities for the benefit of young people, disabled people, elderly people, the terminally ill and otherwise disadvantaged people and their carers.

We award grants to those charities that are able to demonstrate quantifiable outcomes to beneficiaries. Typically, grants of up to £5,000 are regularly made and occasional larger sums are given to charities where high impact can be achieved. Similarly, smaller charities often benefit from smaller grants of £250 upwards.

You should meet the following criteria:

You are a small UK registered charity with an annual income below £1m
Your application is not for core salaries, building construction, general running costs, transport, financial deficits or overseas projects
Your application is not on behalf of a community interest company, for religious institutions, museum or for an individual
You have not received a grant from The Hedley Foundation, or submitted an unsuccessful application to the Foundation, within the last two years

The Trustees meet four times per year to review grant applications. These should be received in good time before each meeting and at least 6 weeks before the meeting date. The forthcoming meetings are as follows:
