The P & C Hickinbotham Charitable Trust grants

A Quaker-rooted family trust (est. 1947) giving one-off grants to registered charities, with preference for groups working in Leicestershire and Rutland, plus a small number in North Wales and Northern Ireland. It supports a wide range of causes, from disability, homelessness and addiction to prisoner rehabilitation, asylum, the arts, heritage, youth, community development and the environment. Grants tend to be £250 to £1,000, with no upper limit for very special applications; applications are reviewed regularly with no deadlines.
