The Worshipful Company of Fuellers

The Fuellers Charitable Trust Fund

The charitable trust of a City of London livery company representing the energy industry, established in 1983. Its aims are the relief of poverty, advancement of education, and research and assistance through awards, prizes and donations in areas connected to energy. Most of its giving is committed in advance — a sponsored school, the Company's military affiliates, the RNLI's Tower Lifeboat and named prizes and scholarships — with one-off grants alongside, including those suggested by members. Applications are written to the Secretary; there is no form, no published criteria and no stated grant size.

Who can apply

  • No eligibility criteria are published
  • The only stated requirement is that an application is in line with the Trust's primary aims — relief of poverty, advancement of education, and research and assistance in areas connected to energy — and that it is addressed to the Secretary
  • Applicants should be realistic about the odds: the Trust describes its giving as regular support for a fixed set of organisations connected to the Company, plus one-off grants including those suggested by members, which suggests unsolicited applications from unconnected organisations are not the main route
  • Its charitable work is also described as relief of hardship 'especially in and around the City of London', though this is a stated emphasis rather than a boundary

What it funds

Grant applications must be in line with the Trust's primary aims:

  • The relief of poverty
  • The advancement of education
  • Research and assistance through awards, prizes and donations in areas connected to energy
  • In practice the giving described includes:
  • Regular support for the Company's sponsored school Platanos Academy
  • Other education initiatives

Named awards include the Fuellers' Arkwright Engineering Scholarship, an annual A level scholarship for studying engineering, and the Charles Stephenson Clarke Award for students at City University taking part in an annual energy project.

The Trust has also funded equipment for schools affiliated to the Company, and makes GBP 300 grants to charities nominated by military affiliate prize-winners.
