The Brelms Trust offers grants to a wide variety of charities operating in Yorkshire and directly benefitting only Yorkshire communities.

Priority is given to charities working at the heart of communities to tackle disadvantage and to provide sustainable benefit to the community.

Applications are welcomed from a diversity of charitable organisations and can cover staff salaries, volunteer expenses and running costs, as well as direct service provision.

The Trust does not generally support the total cost of a project, and applicants should demonstrate that wider funding plans are in place. 

Grants are awarded from £1,000 to a maximum of £6,000 per year, either as a one-off grant or up to a maximum of 3 consecutive years.

Therefore, effective from the Trustees meeting in June 2022, a grant can total between £3,000 – £18,000 per application over a 3 year period.

We are interested in funding charities which address community issues such as:

• Arts, education and sport
• Carers
• Conservation
• Debt and benefits advice
• Domestic abuse and sexual violence
• Excluded young people
• Homelessness
• Older people facing isolation
• Physical and learning disabilities
• Physical and mental health
• Prevention of re-offending
• Refugees, asylum-seekers and ethnic minorities
• Rural isolation
• Substance misuse
• Support in bereavement
• Support for disadvantaged communities.
