CRH Charitable Trust Grants

Grants from a trust, originally set up to run Cheadle Royal Hospital, for registered charities working on mental health, mental illness and mental disability in the North West of England. Grants are usually restricted to specific revenue projects, with a preference for new projects of up to 3 years. The trust sets no minimum or maximum grant. Trustees meet four times a year, and they may visit applicants who ask for larger sums.
