The Trust intends to support general charitable purposes and is primarily focused on supporting the local voluntary sector in the Midlands region. The Trust provides grants in seven main areas: arts and culture; community projects and integration; compassionate support, conservation and environment, interfaith and multifaith relations, education and training; research.
The normal range of grants is between £500 and £10,000 and these are for one-off projects. Larger grants are occasionally made for exceptional purposes.
