Childs Charitable Trust

The Childs Charitable Trust is a grant-making trust that supports Christian UK registered and excepted charities and organisations.

Projects will be considered that fall into the following categories:

• Youth – the trust looks to support projects working in schools and with vulnerable and disengaged young people in the UK. Supported activities may include RE Lessons, School Assemblies, Lunchtime/After school clubs, Evangelism, Personal Development Programmes, and Homelessness Prevention.
• Outreach—The trust works to share the gospel of Christ by supporting all aspects of Christian outreach in the UK and overseas and can fund, for example, Church Plants, Overseas Missions, training in Evangelism, and chaplaincy.
• Society—The trust believes people of faith bring a valuable contribution to social action and justice and supports initiatives that have a positive impact on their society. Grants could support, for example, Counselling, night shelters, alcohol/drug rehabilitation, homelessness, or prison/ex-offenders’ work.
• Education—The trust supports initiatives in all areas of Christian education, including Bible Translation, Media Initiatives, Bible Colleges, literature, and apologetics.

Grants allocated in 2024 will be primarily focused on organisations that actively share the Christian gospel in their work.

Applicants must be registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales, the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator or the Charity Commission of Northern Ireland or be ‘excepted’ charities. Organisations with a turnover over £5,000,000 should contact the office prior to applying, to check eligibility.
