Robert Clutterbuck Charitable Trust Grants

Small grants to charities, generally between £1,000 and £3,000, preferably for the purchase of specific items or projects rather than running costs. Priorities are Armed Forces personnel and ex-service men and women, sport and recreational facilities for young people, domestic animal welfare, natural history and wildlife, and hospices, churches, schools, health and social welfare charities associated with Cheshire and Hertfordshire. The Trust does not fund individuals and generally favours charities with turnover of £500,000 or less.
